  Exactly, displaying an 'ip' register which is not the instruction
  pointer is very unhelpful.

  The existing register names are currently different on posix-vs-Darwin
  anyway, so there shouldn't be any harm in making the change now. I think
  it's "fioff" on Darwin. It uses different display names vs. the internal
  variable names.

  I agree that it would be nice to make it consistent everywhere.
  Personally I'm in favor of it matching the Intel names as closely as
  possible. I'm slightly puzzled by how many places in the codebase
  (re)define the register sets, it seems like making changes like this may
  not be straightforward.
