I plan (in a subsequent patch to this) to break down jump-to-register,
describe-register-1 etc and move the pieces to where they belong using
the new implementation including moving semantic tag support back to

Agreed. On the other hand, we could add these support very quickly
should someone ask for them. I don't know what to do here. Should we add
