OMG, you could not pay me enough money to write self-modifying code anymore. I 
used to think it was cute. I had some sort of strategy that used the immediate 
byte of a MVI as a switch. Why waste time on EX when you could just STC the 
count into the instruction? Ha! Never again!

with slight addendum: when such are immutable constants. IMO, self modifying 
code is anathema. I am not so extreme on code which is not re-entrant.
