#188 acc = (acc>>1) & 0x7f
/*
this feature request was triggered by some rudimentary
compiler comparison on (sorry, german only)
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVR_PIC_51-Vergleich
(the comparison does explicitly denote itself as
not representative, and just uses one slightly broken
code snippet so please keep expectations low)
The http page listed above currently comes out on top
of Google's search results for "8051 C Compiler" when
googling from germany. Just for the record:
www.wickenhaeuser.de comes ranks second, SDCC ranks third.
