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.
