OK - that's very reasonable. Prologue analyzers are very ugly, and
the amd64 one is worse, because the insns are harder to parse
(at least to me). That's why, until Pierre started sending patches,
I never really considered submitting the changes we made, thinking
that we were the only one for whom it actually made a difference.

That's correct.

Sounds like an acceptable compromise.
