If the move is for an unknown length but is likely to be less than 256:
Is it worth checking the length for a specific value and proceed with MVC loop
if small enough and MVCL if large?

Unless I have to play a lot of silly games, saving and restoring some
registers, I just use the MVCL in all cases.
