Add home page link and create content link by default to the primary menu?

While Drupal 6 has an edit link in the primary menu, how about adding a 'home page' link and a 'create content' link in the primary/main menu by default in Drupal Core? The create content link doesn't need sub-links, it just needs to link to the node/add page.

Primary menus (especially left aligned ones directly under the site logo/name) tend to be more visible to new users than sidebar menus.
