But that is exactly my point. Excluding codepaths based on the #define
WIN32 as a binary test is demonstratably not correct; the world is much
more complicated than just WIN32 and everything else, especially when
you are trying to perform very Unix-specific bit-twiddling. The fact
that the existing code makes that overly broad assumption doesn't make
it right. It's about correctness, not numbers. ;)
