 9.8.4.3 Register names
 ......................
 
 A '$' character may always prefix a general or special register name in
 an instruction operand but is mandatory when the option
 '--no-underscore' is specified or when the '.syntax register_prefix'
 directive is in effect (Seecrisnous).  Register names are
 case-insensitive.
