Isn't a WTL just a WTO ROUTECDE=11 under the covers? If so, why would it function differently (unless the original WTO was not being explicitly being routed to 11?).

a comment that is gratuitous in the light of my original language,

I have found that using WTLs instead of WTOs in these circumstances helps much more than
 there would seem to be any reason to believe that it should

which he quotes apparently without understanding it.

Like most of the old men in this business, I had always used MNOTE '<text>' statements for assembly-time messages to myself and WTO foir execution-time ones until I observed one oof my students using WTLs instead of WTOs. I asked her why; she produced a small study establishing that WTLs are indeed significantly, even very much faster in many circumstances; and I began to use them too.
