  91
  92          1) Is this safe?  Will it catch all the zero bytes?
  93          Suppose there is a byte with all zeros.  Any carry bits
  94          propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
  95          least significant bit and stop.  Since there will be no
  96          carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
  97          byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
  98          detected.
  99
 100          2) Is this worthwhile?  Will it ignore everything except
 101          zero bytes?  Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
 102          somewhere.  There will be a carry into bit 8.  If bit 8
 103          is set, this will carry into bit 16.  If bit 8 is clear,
 104          one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
 105          into bit 16.  Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
 106          24.  If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
 107          into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
 108
 109          The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
 110          31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
 111          changed.  If we had access to the processor carry flag,
 112          we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
 113          at bit 32!
 114
 115          So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
 116          properly.  */
