 Legalization is iterative, and all state is contained in GMIR.  To maintain the
 validity of the intermediate code, instructions are introduced:
 
+* ``G_MERGE_VALUES`` --- concatenate multiple registers of the same
+  size into a single wider register.
+
+* ``G_UNMERGE_VALUES`` --- extract multiple registers of the same size
+  from a single wider register.
 
 * ``G_EXTRACT`` --- extract a simple register (as contiguous sequences of bits)
   from a single wider register.
