Eli sent me his files in private mail. I will review. If
we're getting different stuff on different systems, then
I may end up leaving this alone.

Not yet.

Submiting a patch allows you to show me the error of my ways and
to better convince me that we can "do something better than what
C does".  Without a concrete alternative, the discussion is (or feels
like to me that it is) just hand waving.

I offer you the opportunity to submit a patch as proof of my open-
mindedness and that it's not just a "waste of everybody's time."

Thanks,

Arnold
