Which *looks* like a master.lib function, but only because ZUN adapted
his own micro-optimized super_roll_put_tiny() for 32×32. Good thing we
covered that one first!

So, master.lib has:
• super_put_tiny() for tiny-format 16×n sprites
• super_roll_put_tiny() for vertically wrapped tiny-format 16×16
sprites
• super_put_tiny_small() for tiny-format 8×n sprites
• yet *no* super_roll_put_tiny_small() function
And now we have ZUN adding micro-optimized versions of:
1) vertically-wrapped tiny-format 16×16, clearly based on master.lib's
super_roll_put_tiny(), RE'd in 35f9bd7
2) vertically-wrapped tiny-format 32×32
3) vertically-wrapped non-tiny monochrome 16×16 (TH05 only)
Conclusion: Even though 1) does duplicate a master.lib function, trying
to continue following master.lib's inconsistent naming convention only
leads to more confusion here. master.lib also already designates the _8
suffix to mean "x will be byte-aligned, ⌊x/8⌋*8"…
So let's:
• spell out both coordinates of the sprite size directly in the
function
• keep the z_ prefix to encode ZUN's optimized calling convention
(left/top coordinates in registers, ES already set to the beginning
of a VRAM plane, GRCG already on) for all of these, not just 1).
• and prefix the actual functions with _raw, since C land will want
to handle the coordinate parameter registers in a macro.

Which finally allows us to use the PLANE_SIZE macro in ASM land. Yeah,
(ROW_SIZE * RES_Y) has finally got old.

The TH04/TH05 BGM/SE mode setup is a good example for code where
different structure field offsets will vanish completely upon reverse-
engineering. If we continued to use the per-game ID string as the
variable name, we'd only have another game-specific "difference" there.

WTF. Fine, let's have separate, micro-optimized ASM implementations for
decoding and encoding inr MAIN.EXE, but still, all those minute
difference between OP.EXE and MAINE.EXE…
This is as far as anyone should reasonably go before decompilation;
things will get really ugly with the loading functions once the file
name is involved as well…

Funny how the actual scores are stored as little-endian gaiji strings
in the bold font, yet never actually used as such.

At least wherever Turbo C++ and master.lib want us to use a
non-pointer, since both use uint16_t for segment values throughout
their APIs instead of the more sensible void __seg*. Maybe, integer
arithmetic on segment values was widely considered more important than
dereferencing?
No leading underscore for functions with Pascal calling convention, but
we do have one for all variables, because it's not worth it to put
keywords in front of everything for no reason.
Seemed to have forgotten this rule in 2017?

Yup, nothing interesting in here.
Except for maybe the confirmation that LS00.BB is used for the curved
bullets used by Shinki and EX-Alice?

… because TH04's version of this takes the ASCII stage ID directly from
the resident structure.
So boss battles are simply triggered by setting the background tile
scroll speed to 0? That means…
