Comment(by felix):

 Marc Feeley suggests replacing calls to `SPOCK.count` with code that
 inlines the test:

 {{{
 By the way, I think performance would improve if you changed the calls:

 function foo(k,a1,a2,a3)
 {
   SPOCK.check(arguments);
   ...
 }

 to

 function foo(k,a1,a2,a3)
 {
   if (--SPOCK.check_count =3D=3D=3D 0) SPOCK.check(foo,k,a1,a2,a3);
   ...
 }

 This will avoid using "arguments", which causes most JavaScript VMs to =
 not optimize the code, and it will poll intermittently.
 }}}

 This should be benchmarked. Also, the performance difference between the
 throw and nothrow variants must be measured.
