+
+ 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
+ Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
+ propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
+ least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
+ carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
+ byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
+ detected.
+
+ 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
+ zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
+ somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
+ is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
+ one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
+ into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
+ 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
+ into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
+
+ The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
+ 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
+ changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
+ we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
+ at bit 32!
+
+ So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
+ properly.
+
+ 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C as well as zero?
+ Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
+ each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
+ into a zero. */
