You assert that declaring a parameter as "register" instructs the compiler that 
callers should pass in the argument on the stack, but the function should then 
copy it to a register?  Can you cite a reference?

(I admit in advance I can't cite a reference for my assertion that it asks to 
pass the argument in a register.  And we all know the "register" keyword is 
more or less an unfunny joke to the compiler anyway.)
