   Not sure what you're talking about.   
      
   This is a once-off instruction to be executed.   
      
   There is nothing magical about 4 bit   
   shifts that are totally memory efficient, zero   
   fragmentation, but 5 bits would be   
   totally horrendous, unacceptable to the   
   whole world without exception.   
      
   Personally I want 2 mb of memory   
   rather than 1 MB, and I'll wear the   
   slightly inferior fragmentation.
