Yeah, as part of the ARB_gpu_shader5 bringup. At the time, I believe I
specified them as the DX11 thing since I assumed it was identical to
the GLSL. I've since learned that not to be the case.

If you want to introduce new ops/caps to differentiate the GLSL way
and the DX11 way, that's fine by me. (And I'm not picky about which op
gets the original name...)
