Not a good solution, IMO. Even if no good solution for the wrapping problem could be found, it is more important that nodes have helpful names than that wrapping be avoided. And a name can be helpful without being overly long. And this and the other node names in this section would not be longer than most if named normally: `Positional Register' as a substitute for `RegPos' is not longer than most other nodes. I suspect that the reason we have RegPos and company is simply an oversight - perhaps laziness or unconcern on the part of whoever named them. Further evidence that this is an oversight is that the author didn't even use `Reg Pos'. There is zero reason to use camelCase here.
