Actually, I seem to remember that on at least one compiler I was using,
it was better to use pre-auto-decrement and post-auto-increment, when
possible.  The reason was that the machine had a pre-decrement and a 
post-increment addressing mode (for stack manipulation, presumably) which
were a win compared to ADD #1,MEMLOC.  Er, maybe it was the OS9 Level II
compiler for the 6809... I'm not sure.  Anybody else have an example of 
this?
