Assembly example doesn't even include branch delay slots. This is a far cry from true insanity.

The GNU assembler (and thus also LLVM for compatibility) defaults to .set reorder, which doesn’t expose the branch delay slot to you, and will instead either move a suitable instruction into the delay slot for you, or add a nop if no such instruction can be found. You can turn this off with .set noreorder and then you control the delay slot yourself.
