CPU registers can be placed into two categories: *general-purpose* and *special-purpose*.

-A "general-purpose" register (<abbr title="General-Purpose Register">GPR</abbr> for short) can be used for storing arbitrary data.

-Some GPRs are special nonetheless, as we will see later; but the distinction is "can I store arbitrary data in it?".
