My repo will never include all of master.lib anyway, as explained in
https://rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/2020-11-03.
That gets me a median build time of 27 seconds for the entirety of
ReC98 on my system, just as estimated in that same blog post. And we're
far from done with #include optimizations…

This might have almost been the case that justified making master.hpp
compatible with C translation units… but even this one would like to
use the template functions from th01/math/vector.hpp.

The `struct date` members in `scoredat_t` add a dependency on <dos.h>
to the entire header file. Makes sense to move it out as early as
possible.

Since I'd still prefer to not use include guards *and* to have that
standalone .GRZ viewer, these would have actually caused somewhat of
an issue with the upcoming final stretch of the master.hpp transition.

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!

Might seem inconsistent, given that the function initializes pointers
that are declared in planar.h… but it's always called from other game
initialization functions that don't require pc98.h or planar.h.

Reason: Manual "tail call optimization" of input_reset_sense(), with
execution falling through to input_sense() immediately below.

Umm… but this can't be in the same translation unit as frame_delay(),
because OP.EXE has cdg_put_nocolors() inbetween, which means we'd have
to compile it twice.
What probably happened there: ZUN originally wrote this in C when
frame_delay() was still next to it, then generated ASM from it,
tinkered with that, and ultimately only linked that ASM into the final
game, with the NOPCALL still in there. That might very well be the one
temporary NOPCALL workaround we can never get rid of…
Oh well, at least we got lucky with the padding, and can keep the
cdg_put_nocolors() decompilation from the last commit.

And this is how you make code less undecompilable by improving your
pointless micro-optimizations to use more registers instead of
self-modifying code. Worth it if only to get rid of the branches in
TH04's undecompilable ASM implementation.

How was this game even *built*, originally, if it uses *both* a common
shared set of library functions *and* obviously copy-pasted and
separately compiled versions of some of these functions?

Functions with 12 parameters are hard to describe, y'know. Looking
forward to decompiling these giant expressions for the actual
boss↔orb collision parameter passed to this function…
Oh well, at least we're now totally ready for some boss code next
year. 😌

Yes, no "generator", just a single number. Used to add some very
minimal randomness to certain things, by taking it modulo a small
number.

And once again, SinGyoku is the only boss to get its own variable.
Maybe this means that it was the first boss to be implemented after
all?

And we're right back to things not being nice. Because yeah, why
shouldn't these three distinct rendering functions be part of a single
function, selected by magic numbers?
Or why shouldn't the 16×16 wrapper around a 32×32 set of graphics
functions be used to handle backgrounds for 16×8 sprites, resulting in
needlessly complex parameter calculations that lead to sloppy code?
