Carl predated me by years, and was my mentor and father confessor when I got
deep into the quicksand. Best C advice? Assume that the compiler does nothing
FOR you... your analysis of C as a macro assembler couldn't be more accurate.
The beauty is that the #defines and functions allow you to move into a level of
abstraction that is truly close to high level language.

It's NEVER too late. Hell - it took me 3-4 years to break the mental block
against C (1983-1986).
