It's a very bad idea to use the method I know you're thinking of. It's
not standard ANSI C, and isn't supported by a lot of the compilers that
Circle is portable to.

Why would you bother, when it takes away from the readability and
sense of the code and just about any compiler out there optimises
it anyway?
