- nit: it's not necessarily the case that insn semantics would only
  be used by simulators
  - e.g. the operand tables derived from insn semantics are used by m32r gas
- even if it were, the patch hardwires the test to SID-SIMULATOR
- adding specialized code can be "that bad" because without adequate
  commenting like "do as I say, not as I do", more and more such code
  creeps in over time
  - imagine if there's 20 different apps (as in (eq? APPLICATION mumble))
    all with their own little tweaks to rtl-c.scm

Remove the appearance of the text "SID" from rtl-c.scm and parameterize
the feature on something generic and I'd be happier.
