I actually neglected to consider something here.  I think the 
compiler actually recognizes calls to memcpy and replaces them so 
it may not actually be making function calls for each of these.  
Nevertheless, if this were implemented as a template in the 
runtime, there would be no need any compiler magic, which would 
make the compiler just that much simpler to implement and 
maintain.
