@mcc I added a whole bunch of instructions to x86 (what became AVX512), including new syntax for the mask registers. I remember trying to find out who "owned" that, and whether we should use v0(k1), v0[k1] or v0{k1} or some other syntax.
Sadly I don't have my notes from that time, but my vague recollection is that the answer was "nobody cares - pick one". Which was very alarming! I did have some feedback from our internal assembler team, but they stressed that they were NOT a public authority.
