Yep! It's a ver useful way to abstract from the actual implementation.
It helps distinguish the BCTR x,0 from the ones that implement a loop.

Since I have *no* branch instructions or labels in my new code other
than generated by structured programming macros, going to basefree
code will only take changes to the macros. A BCTR would stand out more
than I want.
