I agree, i am objecting to the syntax of what you are saying.   I am
objecting to your assertion that it is any real improvement. 

The work here is not changing the bits.  the work here is the actual
auditing of each place to see if it was the correct place.

I did the auditing for the middle end and did not do it for the backend,
except where i blew it in the alpha.
