It performs the masking at compilation time rather than run-time, thus saving 
one masking instruction and sparing an implicit clobber on ECX.

However, since we are dealing with constants, we the shift amount could 
*presumably* just as well be fixed in the calling code. Not that I'd know.

To be honest, even if it's good, it inhibits instruction scheduling by the 
compiler. So IMO the threshold should be for assembler to be strictly *better* 
than the C code.

(And I don't know the answer to that question.)
