instruction encodings are listed in alphabetic order of instruction mnemonics. this is not amenable to writing a disassembler.. so i went through all three versions of the manual and transcribed encodings *from* the manual into a text file i could easily reorder. and so [notes/encoding_table](https://github.com/iximeow/yaxpeax-rx/blob/no-gods-no-/notes/encoding_table) was born. reorder that to be approximately by bits, and [notes/reordered_encodings](https://github.com/iximeow/yaxpeax-rx/blob/no-gods-no-/notes/reordered_encodings). finally, i tried finding patterns across encodings and simplifying the total number of encodings across all instructions, and that left me with [notes/grouped_encodings](https://github.com/iximeow/yaxpeax-rx/blob/no-gods-no-/notes/grouped_encodings).
+vendors! please do not make me write things like this!! i'm not good at it!!!

the disassembler itself is largely transcription of this table into source code. including, unfortunately, a massive chain of if/else from `0b00000000` stopping at dozens of points on the way to `0b11111111`. :')
