Maybe this can be implemented in a largely CPU independent way? Try to
make it data-driven, so you can then for example just provide a
CPU-specific data sructure (array of names / addresses or whatever you
are checking).

No news is good news.  Make them silent, please.

Why can you only have two doors on a chicken coop? If it had four  it
would be a chicken sedan.
