  66. 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
  67. Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
  68. propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
  69. least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
  70. carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
  71. byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
  72. detected.
  73. 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
  74. zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
  75. somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
  76. is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
  77. one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
  78. into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
  79. 24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
  80. into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
  81. The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
  82. 31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
  83. changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
  84. we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
  85. at bit 32!
  86. So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
  87. properly. */
