Yeah.  I wondered briefly if 'volatile' might suit, but I need to deepen 
my understanding of optimizer techniques before going any further.  One 
pretty basic question I had was whether a volatile statement is 
basically a manually specified basic block or whether the restriction on 
loads and stores doesn't apply in quite the same way to basic blocks.
