Not the same - the associated AR is changed. May astonish a calling program
who calls a subroutine that is all PRIMARY mode and thus does not save ARs.

Depends on whether you wish to unexpectedly mess with the top halves of GRs
and the ARs.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
