I'm hitting it all the time because I'm working on both armhf which is
"registerised" and aarch64 which currently isn't (working on that).
`("Unregisterised", "YES")` doesnt give me much trouble, but *every* time
I see `("Unregisterised", "NO")` I have a huge double take and have to
think about it.
> unregisterised builds are enabled by `--enable-unregisterised`, we don't
talk about disabling registerised-ness.
No, but `--disable-ghc-calling-convention` is far more obvious than what
we have now. Its also makes it more obvious that `ghc-calling-convention`
is the *default*.
