@me_@sueden.social It looks to me like a tweak to look at less of the bits when decoding for very common instructions (maybe they did some profiling).
The AND, XOR and OR are similar; you only need to look at some more significant bits and already know there is no other instruction possible when those bits are set.

@me_@sueden.social The fact that the cut is always at the halves is what brought me to that conclusion. It also works the other way for the simple CALLI.
