Heh, it's so complex, so machine-dependent....

That makes me wonder why we still don't have 3 simple to use 
instructions that do equivalent of memmove(), memcpy() and memset() all 
in hardware in the best possible way with the respect of block size, 
alignment, caches, chipset, you-name-it? Virtually every program would 
benefit from such instructions.
