The point is that there are a few things that may be hard to do
with {decode, pipeline, calculations, specifications...}; but
because they are so universally needed; these, too, should
"get into ISA".

One good reason to put them in ISA is to preserve the programmers
efforts over decades, so they don't have to re-write libc every-
time a new set of instructions come out.

Moving an arbitrary amount of memory from point a to point b
happens to fall into that universal need. Setting an arbitrary
amount of memory to a value also falls into that universal
need.
