"The mad neatener".  Hmm, I think I like that one.

Okay, I really should have called it an "improver", and if indeed your
VAX executes MOVL's faster than CLRL's, then *both* the implementation
of Bliss and of C do it right.  It is simply the case that Bliss wins
for space, and C wins for speed.

(Hey, I'm not perfect, I just act like I think I am...)
