 Besides, there really isn't much point, except to hack someone else's code.
 I used to think that I'd compile my code, and then decompile it to assembler 
so that I could make optimizations there.  Any good compiler will translate 
C/C++ code to assembler, can keep the comments, and will allow for 
optimizations to be made there.
