[off topic] imaginary PowerPC instructions

Hi,
After looking at some -S powerpc assembly I started wondering:
Should the powerpc have had:
bcrr[l] branch register relative
bcra[l] branch register absolute (like bcctr only not requiring mtctr)?
Anyone know off the top of their head if powerx (x>4; 4 ~= 970) has
something similar?
Off the top of your head can anyone think of any other compiler
friendly instructions that would have been nice?
Thanks! (and sorry for the noise).
