Well, this one was certainly a dud.  ;^)  I get the feeling I'm more
down on the metal than most folks on this interesting list.
Can anyone opine about assembler plans?  Some new instructions offer a
meaningful performance boost in the right niche, so I hate to think
the assembler won't expose them.
