* Exactly the same as standard library function memset(), but considerably
* faster for zeroing small word-aligned structures (such as parsetree nodes).
* This has to be a macro because the main point is to avoid function-call
* overhead.
* overhead. However, we have also found that the loop is faster than
* native libc memset() on some platforms, even those with assembler
* memset() functions. More research needs to be done, perhaps with
* platform-specific MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT values or tests in configure.

* We got the MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT value by testing this against the libc
* memset() on several platforms, some with assembly language versions.
