Calling the unnamed register the unnamed register really does nothing but
negate the name the unnamed register and render the unnamed register useless
as a name, thus the unnamed register is named the unnamed register and is no
longer the unnamed register as it is named the unnamed register, so where is
the unnamed register to be found and what do we call it!
