110 
111 	 1) Is this safe?  Will it catch all the zero bytes?
112 	 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros.  Any carry bits
113 	 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
114 	 least significant bit and stop.  Since there will be no
115 	 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
116 	 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
117 	 detected.
118 
119 	 2) Is this worthwhile?  Will it ignore everything except
120 	 zero bytes?  Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
121 	 somewhere.  There will be a carry into bit 8.  If bit 8
122 	 is set, this will carry into bit 16.  If bit 8 is clear,
123 	 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
124 	 into bit 16.  Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
125 	 24.  If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
126 	 into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
127 
128 	 The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
129 	 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
130 	 changed.  If we had access to the processor carry flag,
131 	 we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
132 	 at bit 32!
133 
134 	 So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
135 	 properly.
136 
137 	 3) But wait!  Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
138 	 Good point.  So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
139 	 each of whose bytes is C.  This turns each byte that is C
140 	 into a zero.  */
