Add common i386 alias #49

Open bivens-dev opened 1 year ago

bivens-dev commented 1 year ago

Wanted to ask if you would be open to something like this? I saw some precedent in the file but wasn't sure if this was a pattern you wanted to avoid potentially.

I ran into this writing a new rule set and was running into writing a bunch of additional logic that could have just been avoided with an alias like this so I figured I would submit it as a pull request and see what y'all think :)

How does this avoid additional logic? Adding aliases gives a single concept two names, which is usually a path to future confusion.
