Another comment on the precondition in question:  It does not appear to be 
inside a loop, but rather a precursor to a bulk operation (which searches the 
sign bits of a byte array slice).  It's hard to imagine the JIT doing a better 
job with that as an intrinsic, since it probably won't be RCE-ed within an 
enclosing hot loop.  So, yes, force-inline it.

Volkan found a pre-existing RFE about that precondition check, and I added a 
lengthy comment to it, FTR:
