There are four bits in every instruction (the first four, in fact).  If I
could find my ARM manual, I could even tell you what they were 8-(.

I figured out a way, once, to make gcc use them (peepholing, of course).
From the manual, I think I decided that it was really only worthwhile if the
branch would skip over four or fewer instructions.
