Another thought is that it may be time for our decennial debate about
whether MemSet is worth the electrons it's printed on. I continue to
think that any modern compiler+libc ought to do an equivalent or better
optimization given just a plain memset(). If that seems to be true
for recent MSVC, we could consider putting an #if into c.h to define
MemSet as just memset for MSVC. Maybe later that could be extended
to other compilers.
