115 
116 	 1) Is this safe?  Will it catch all the zero bytes?
117 	 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros.  Any carry bits
118 	 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
119 	 least significant bit and stop.  Since there will be no
120 	 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
121 	 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
122 	 detected.
123 
124 	 2) Is this worthwhile?  Will it ignore everything except
125 	 zero bytes?  Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
126 	 somewhere.  There will be a carry into bit 8.  If bit 8
127 	 is set, this will carry into bit 16.  If bit 8 is clear,
128 	 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
129 	 into bit 16.  Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
130 	 24.  If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
131 	 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
132 
133 	 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
134 	 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
135 	 changed.  If we had access to the processor carry flag,
136 	 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
137 	 at bit 32!
138 
139 	 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
140 	 properly.
141 
142 	 3) But wait!  Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
143 	 Good point.  So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
144 	 each of whose bytes is C.  This turns each byte that is C
145 	 into a zero.  */
