The "faster code" thing was really some hints for people new to compiled spectrum basic. I could see some beginners needing some hand holding. I know we all hate to do documentation, so I'm trying to help out where I can.The wiki updates are great! Sorry I didn't mention it before (I think it should go in another thread). On the other hand, I was about to propose to include some of your code into the compiler (band, bor, bxor), because I was considering to put these as BASIC keywords:
myVar band 0xFF
and also
myVar & 0xFF
Yes (C-like operators too). So you can write &, |, ! or And/or/not. Unfortunately, bXor in C uses ^ char, which is power() operator in ZX Spectrum BASIC so we sould consider another symbol.
