Other names I have seen this go by:

    extended operand

    66 mode (refers to the 0x66 byte prefix)

The Borland C++ 3.1 compiler generates this code with the -3 option, and
can accept it with inline assembly if TASM is used to assemble the compiled
result (instead of the BASM assmbler built into the compiler).
