We can use this to fix the FIXME in emitAllocateWithNonNullAllocator().

Looking into how to write a test for this now.

You ought to be able to write a test in testb3 that checks that we are now using the 3-operand sub.

Hmm.  I think we have an opportunity to make live a lot easier for ourselves if we implement this.  Here's a possible impl:

sub32(a, b, c)
{
    // Implement c = a - b
    if (c == b) {
        neg32(c);
        add32(a, c);
        return;
    }
    move(a, c);
    sub32(b, c);
}
