SREPL is crazy fast, I have used it for lots of odd purposes like this.

This is a great example of the power of SREPL. I never would have thought of using it for that purpose, but it works quite well as you have indicated. The others are similarly well-suited for the tasks you identified.

SREPL is almost entirely written in Saturn code, and it makes repeated use of MOVE instructions which execute at native ARM speed. So it really is a speed demon.

Thanks to Juan, grsbanks, Nihotte(lma), and John Keith for all the thought-provoking concepts!
