Hi Eric,

This is fine, but what kind of wimpy compiler optimizer will not move
the constant initializer out of the loop? I bet if you compare binary
sizes/code it will be exactly the same, and you added some characters
of code. Reorganizing code for readability is fine, but for compiler
(in)efficiency seems like a bad idea.

Regards, Steve
