And what nice naming conventions would you like to associate with these
allocated and poked structures? Even though I was the lead assembler
person on a team of ten assembler programmers, it didn't take me
long to figure out that assembler was not going to allow most people to
approach the programming area. Peek and poke don't even allow the
named structures that assembler allows. I can fill up a swimming pool
with a coffee cup, but I doubt that anybody will see the efficiency of that
approach.
