Whenever someone repeats the tired meme of "the compiler generates better assembly code than a human", I think of cases like this one (or the many occasions where I inspected compiler-generated assembly and it was atrocious). The rule of thumb should be "the compiler generates better assembly code than a human could within the time it takes to write high-level code and press 'Build project'", but that's not as catchy.
