My normal rule-of-thumb is "no surprises" - the compiler should
not ever surprise me in its generated code, or (perhaps
more simply put) generate code that I can't understand and
map back to the source, irrespective of optimization
level.  I'm quite happy to accept simple inlined loops
for block assignment or comparison, since these seem perfectly
reasonable, whether as a result of inlining or not.

Just me penneth worth...
