Indeed, but he was a freak of nature.. :)  (and his code looked like a 
bucket of skinned wombats tossed down the side of a mountain)

In reality, there are a lot of situations where being able to toss some

personally use it in luaray, but as previously stated, "normal" assembly 
has little payoff, nowadays it's almost entirely simd.
