The conditional branches were designed to include arithmetic

+comparison operations between two registers (as also done in PA-RISC,
+Xtensa, and MIPS R6), rather than use condition codes (x86, ARM, SPARC,
PowerPC), or to only compare one register against zero (Alpha, MIPS),
or two registers only for equality (MIPS). This design was motivated
by the observation that a combined compare-and-branch instruction fits
