Yes, it's an ARM core.

:-)

However, what I don't like about this solution is, that you have to make 
T_Delta publically visible.  My point is not about anybody not knowing about 
T'Small - it's just that you can not control the use of the symbol T_Delta. 
Maybe later you want to rename it, or share the same constant between T1 and T2.
