Great!

Please note that the "bit-wise or" operation in the following line has
no effect:
     Byte_Acc :=3D Shift_Left (Byte_Acc, 1) or 16#00#

When shifting left, you are guaranteed that zeroes are shifted in.

I have no idea if this extremely small optimization actually has any
impact on the performance though...
