I don't have a strong opinion either way.  Mike is not using "w" as a
general escape, but more as a prefix for a series of VSX constraints.
It probably is cleaner to limit "w" to vector-related uses and use "e"
as the general purpose escape.  I don't see any benefit of preserving
additional single-letter constraints as opposed to setting both aside
as escapes.

Thanks, David
