Great!  Now if this ability were widespread in the _real_world_ (or,
the rest of the real world - for those of you who consider MIPS to
be real :-), then there would be much less waste in the procedure
interface.  Of course, once you have this capability, you would also
want an 'inline' keyword on procedure declarations, etc..
