I'll revert that part; should I then put `fixnum?' at the > end? You can leave it where it is, if you wanted, and just give it a later number. Then when we renumber in 2.2, it will get a number in the "neat" order. All of those definitions expand out to `case' blocks, but I don't know what the compiler does with them. Does it actually put them in the order they appear? Does it put them in numerical order? I do know that it puts the UNLIKELY blocks at the end of the VM engine, which is important, but I don't know what it does with instructions for the various opcodes. Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
