But the flip side is SubRegIndex<32> isn't half of a GPR pair for RV64. What you've changed the name to only applies to RV32, whilst it was previously true for RV64 too (even if not so useful).

Ideally yes; for CHERI-RISC-V downstream we make the X-in-C subreg be size -1 as a result of not having that.

Would be sad to go down that road...

This is true, but I don't see the point of renaming them until that's possible.
