set(z,y,x)...

Right or wrong, bit late to change it anyway?:

	Starting at z set to y the next x bytes
vs:
	Starting at z set x bytes to y...

Just to be damn awkward, what makes sense for me is:

	set_mem(x,z,y)

aka set x bytes from address z on to y.

Am I kidding? you figure it out blink

This is precisely the kind of thing that should not suddenly cease to
work, but in java-speak "deprecated" and something better invented.

However, of course, the documentation is pretty exact and really, for
such a rarely used function, why mess?
