I'm sure it all gets optimized out to the same thing in the end :-) But
yes, you're right.
I can imagine what engineers 10 years from now are going to be saying
when they write Java code - damn thing only uses 32 bit math by default!
How silly on our (32 * whatever) bit chips! :-) It certainly beats
erratic machine-specific behavior though.

The problem is not that particular. It's just a "what happened in the
last 30 days" search bound.
