Which harkens
back to the NEED to have any "optimization" include a way to
explicitly over-ride or lockout that aptimizing, when the programmer deems
it to be inappropriate.
How many of today's "glue black boxes together" programmers would
even KNOW when it's appropriate, though? That's the scary part.
Oh, approximately the same number as the number of 'glue FPGAs and
Microcontrollers together' hardware 'designers' who can calcualtr LED
current limiting reissotrs, bias a transistor properly, etc.
