I mad thought to add to the bit stripping problem (nee, opportunity).
The subject of machine dependence arose - a solution?:  Put each possible
machine interpretation in a case statement in a procedure in a module.
Then use the initialization section of the module to test which of the
possible cases are present for this execution and set the proper case
selector (of course, a static variable inside the module).  Overhead?
The initialization is executed only once, so basically just the overhead
of the case - order the case in order of likelihood and might be small.

A clever idea what?  Have the initialization test for machine dependence
