yes, basically, that's what i did.  with all of the register
"addresses" being unary, it's easy to do.  for the binary versions
it's harder to do because you have to decode the binary reg numbers to
unary first *or* perform an O(N*M) array of binary-address
comparators, N=read_ports, M=write_ports.
