I do, actually. The trouble with this code is that it copies a byte
at a time, and so may be much less efficient than existing library
versions which do it smart, a 32-bit or 64-bit word at a time with
adjustments. I would like to see some measurements on at least
a few platforms before we install this vanilla code.
