I am once again impressed at Turbo C++ 4.0J's optimizer for still
perfectly inlining two levels of nested conditional branches if they
only depend on compile-time constants.

• Comments that describe all lines of code until a blank one are placed
into the lines immediately above
• Comments that describe an entire demarcated block are placed
immediately below the dash row at the top
• In any case, there should be a blank line after the top comment of
a demarcated block, to keep IntelliSense-style systems from applying
the block comment to the first actual line of code…
• …but there shouldn't be one before the dash row at the bottom, where
it'd be redundant.

Turns out the inlining behavior of `const` variables at global scope
that we've been relying on lately is actually exclusive to C++ mode…
once again!

Nice to see that Borland C++ optimizes bit-tests to cover just the high
or low byte of a word if possible, and that these don't have to be
two-byte structures after all.

The pascal calling convention for TH03's input mode functions actually
sort of matters, since we have this nice function pointer type that
expects pascal.
