--- Comment #1 from negge at dgql.org ---
In the NASM manual it explicitly says that the smaller instruction will be
picked, from https://www.nasm.us/xdoc/2.15/html/nasmdoc3.html#section-3.3

"Some forms of effective address have more than one assembled form; in most
such cases NASM will generate the smallest form it can."

"NASM has a hinting mechanism which will cause [eax+ebx] and [ebx+eax] to
generate different opcodes; this is occasionally useful because [esi+ebp] and
[ebp+esi] have different default segment registers."

Is it possible this was a case that was missed? Could it be added?
