Weelllll... I cannot really speak for the PC code,,,

... but I _did_ some checking with different compilers (had to for hardware
specific parts), and I was "not always" pleased, nor convinced that
compilers had reached a similar level of competence as even an average
human programmer.

Not at all. The quality of code generation, not even to mention code
optimization, depends highly on the target system, especially the
processor, of course, but sometimes even on ancilliary parts that are
commonly used in conjunction with a specific processor. (Think of the
common "application specific systems on a chip" ARM processors commonly
are integrated into).
The gnu compiler doesn't always shine here, too.

Just the opposite of what I prefer. I like the extension of the scoping
"metapher".
