Ok does a ~= b; *always* reallocate a ? If not I'm fine.

Well take a look at "benchmark" for CTFE. It does a lot of bit-setting on array
of bytes. Posiibly a source of asigments since it does 1 bit-set per codepoint. 
That's unavoidable I'm afraid. 

I may special case things somewhat so that it checks if fullword write of zeros
or ones is possible.
