   I can't help it if those compilers generate worse code for the locals   
   version.  Can you conveniently try lxf?

   Sometimes it isn't too hard to read, sometimes it takes head scratching,   
   and sometimes I can't make any sense of it.  The function Anton posted   
   was an example that didn't make sense.  I remember thinking I might sit   
   down and try to figure it out to rewrite it, but it doesn't seem worth   
   the effort.   
      
   Anyway, if efficiency was important for that example, I'd use CODE.
