An example would be for instruction encoding for a compiler. Intead of up to 16 test (that would have been done in probability usage) you replace it by 10 instruction (with an offset jump table). The C compiler need to ANDERSTAND what you are doing for it to do 'perfect' compilation. Soembody wrote the C compiler anyway.
