Steffen was quite right - the ARM doesn't implement delayed branches. 
My mistake.

He's also right in that the ARM is probably the cleanest of all the
commonly used architectures.  But I still think all those special
exception-time mode registers are pretty grody.  ;-)

Sorry to derail the semicolon performance thread.  We now return you to
the regularly scheduled AdaOS feature dreams...
