Well, I have already sent a patch to mailing list. I hope you didn't
miss it. I just want to make sure you got is, so here is the link:

As long as my code is giving me *exactly* the same behaviour as macros
code, my code isn't broken.

Asm diff listing shows only minor changes in commands ordering,
behaviour is the same.

It is possible that on some configurations on some stupid compilers my
code is broken, but my software isn't portable. It is linux/gcc/x86
software.

Btw, timer-related variants actually purely identical in asm.

Anyway, I don't want to argue with you. It's your right to think your
way. If it isn't possible for you to make changes, I'll leave hacks in
my code or eventually I will change the library.

Thank you for your reply.
