Can you please find me a better place? I searched all over and really wasn't
sure where it belongs. It is FB write related (unless there is a more generic
use of such packing), but it is indeed not an FB write.

"Output Stencil" It's the common form in all the payload definitions in the
docs. I kind of liked keeping the doc term so it's searchable, even though we
hadn't done that for other things like oMask (should be OM). I can rename it to
whatever you like instead - just tell me what you want.

Right. Originally I did not do that. (Surprisingly to me it made a difference.)

Okay. The spaces were unintentional FWIW.
