My suggestion would be purely about handling near and short branches, which are
the ones with a displacement. Other references are potentially valid, and are
generally of the absolute offset type. Whether RIP-relative addressing should
be permitted is to be determined (but I'm an 86-DOS gal so I don't care).

As for the remainder of your comment, I thank you for the explanation! If you
ever get around to working on that, let's throw my idea onto the wishlist pile.
