While the alignment of literals if used in LARL would be nice, I'd like to see
a whole bunch of new relative instructions that would allow the
moving, loading, and comparing of a relatively addressed constant (literal or DC) to a
register or "based" storage. This would eliminate the
need for a base register for most constant data references.
There is no reason to have a relative store instruction, since this would
generate non-re-entrant code.
