I installed this after minor comment & spacing changes:
* When calling a function, always put a space between the name an the
open paren for the argument list.
* When referring to a function in a comment, don't put parens after the
name.
* The code won't work for a machine where stacks grow to higher addresses
which also define SETJMP_VIA_SAVE_AREA. No such machines currently
exist, but I thought it was worth noting explicitly.
Thanks!
