A bit off topic, but I've seen this bit of folk wisdom repeated online
for a long time and have always been skeptical. How does a C command
that gets compiled to a CPU's MUL instruction differ in any way from a
Fortran command that also gets compiled to that same CPU's same MUL
instruction? Honest question.
