 I don't think I'm over-generalizing when I say that most of us would agree it
 would be nice to be able to write what we say (and not have to go to heroic
 lengths to get cooperation from the compiler), but the value of examples like
 this is that when someone finally does write a high-level optimizing C com-
 piler, they will have a wealth of ideas to choose from in order to implement
 just the user-friendly sort of translator we all want.
