Yes, I see.
In parrot assmebly it looks like an absolute branch.
The assembler translates 'branch JOHN' to a relative branch.
I still find it confusing to describe the assmebly opcode 'branch IC' as a
relative branch, but I suppose thats due to my not being used to the
conventions.
And, of course, since 'core_ops.pod' is generated from 'core_ops', it
makes sense not to control it by cvs.
