For use in GDB the function is probably plenty fast, BTW.

It went something like this: there was no is_mps, then MPS_FIX12 
returned true and MPS_FIX2 did not like the address at all and asserted.

Then used mps_has_addr and that worked but made the build 10x slower or 
something.

Then what we have.
