It occurs to me that we could just make it silently DTRT --
we want to check the bit count in patterns and so on to
detect typos, but it would be a weird typo that was wrong
by 8 bits, so as long as the patterns are all a multiple
of 8 bits long we could accept them (and handle them in
whatever way we find we need to handle mixed-length
instruction sets). So we might not even need a command
line option.
