I have C-Power, which I like a lot. It produces very efficient code.
Is a real compiler from that point of view.
However, I like it slightly less than a week ago, since I discovered
a bug in the compiler (which I haven't yet reduced to canonical form).
Also the code improver (Trim program) has a bug, which I have
identified, but haven't seen fixed (not in version 2.9 anyway).
