Not needed at least in windows kmd, I don't know if it is out of what reason, with my guess:
1, CI doesn’t support world switch, so no need for the SWITCH_BUFFER at end (only one SB at end is for world switch). 2, I don’t know if that limit can also applied on CI (limit is CE can at most ahead of DE by a certain number DW ) So I think CE can keep the original logic.
