Consider e.g. the hub/instruction_handling/copy files. They are split into

  • generalities
  • and 1 file per opcode:
    • CALLDATACOPY
    • RETURNDATACOPY
    • CODECOPY
    • EXTCODECOPY

Every constraint in these opcode sections is of the form

(defconstraint copy-instruction---OPCODE---purpose-of-the-constraint    (:guard (copy-instruction---standard-OPCODE))

i.e. we have to repeat the guard every time. However in the spec the guard is mentioned once at the start e.g.

image

It would be more in line with the spec if we could declare a local (to the file) guard and have a special way of declaring constraints, say (defguardedconstraint bla ...) or so.
