Which reminds me of something else Dan & I talked about in the past: 
evaluating arguments from right to left.  Saves an awful lot of tedious 
peeking into the middle of the stack to pick up the receiver.  
(Combined with the above, potentially wins Really Big for 386 too.  
OTOH, the tradeoffs for register architectures are a little more 
complex.)

Cheers,
