Out of curiosity (just in case you hav two spare minutes) do you have
any idea why this is so? I mean, naively one would think that allowing
for any 8 bit constant would be a nice idea; puzzlingly, however the
comment in the code says just "experimentation". I'm wondering if
tweaking a bit the memory allocator itself could allow for the full 8
bit range without a big memory waste...
