One thing that would be nice is a bit of PIR syntactic sugar for  
if_null and unless_null opcodes. Maybe something like:

   if null $P5 goto LABEL
   unless null $P5 goto LABEL

Even something like:

   if_null $P5 goto LABEL
   unless_null $P5 goto LABEL

would be a significant improvement over a PASM control statement in  
the middle of PIR code. It's not much different, really, but after  
coding PIR for a while, this just feels wrong:

   if_null $P5, LABEL
   unless_null $P5, LABEL
