Thanks!  The two parentheses trick is nice.

Generally, I was reluctant to declare a variable because, well, 
micro-optimizing means being dissatisfied with compiler 
optimization.  So the mindset didn't allow me to just go and 
declare a variable in the innermost loop, in fear that the 
optimizer might not optimize the allocation away.
