LONGWORD fails to change any of the hole bits of LONGWORD.

1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
93
Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
94
propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
95
least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
96
carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
97
byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
100
2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
101
zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
102
somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
103
is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
104
one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
105
into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
106
24. If one of bits 24-30 is set, there will be a carry
107
into bit 31, so all of the hole bits will be changed.
109
The one misfire occurs when bits 24-30 are clear and bit
110
31 is set; in this case, the hole at bit 31 is not
111
changed. If we had access to the processor carry flag,
112
we could close this loophole by putting the fourth hole
115
So it ignores everything except 128's, when they're aligned
118
3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C as well as zero?
119
Good point. So what we do is XOR LONGWORD with a longword,
120
each of whose bytes is C. This turns each byte that is C
