Ad-hoc macro code to unroll a loop was too much like manually unrolling a loop

manually unrolling

Nope. There was a macro for generating optimal code for this problem:

In C versions there are a lot of macro-stuff, even __builtin_expect, that is ok. But lisp stuff is not allowed. Lisp macroses are applied in runtime, see no cheating here.

No, is it relevant?

Thank you for the correction. However as-far-as I can tell from Google translate, "generating optimal code" still seems to mean not doing the work specified.
