It is renamed to that in the spec.

In the original implementation, the body was separate, to allow for
different implementations (in assembler) on different processors.
Separate bodies cannot have operator names. That turned out to be
unnecessary, but I kept the names.

I prefer non-operator names in bodies; it makes searching for things
easier.
