Wow, a great one from the Happy Valley!

I've quite a bit of catching up to do --- you are miles ahead of me in
terms of feature completeness.

One difference I see is that you seem to be using a flat index. This
likely does not play too well with assembly, which is what I tried to
take into account.

Would you be interested to join forces?

Cheers,
