That would once have been my first and only reply to the question (plus I love coding useful utility functions like these), but recently it has become more prudent to consider the maintenance costs and available knowledge down the road after our generation retires. Using documented, "standard" LE functions may not be as efficient as the assembler solution, but won't require an assembler programmer to maintain it 10 years hence.
