This comes from some of my archaic practices and may be more habit than
anything else.  When CPU's were small and expensive our shop had a table
of number of bytes of code the compiler generates for each OPcode.

If memory serves me, SETOF/SETON were 3 bytes per indicator, MOVEA was
200+. (S/34)

The reason I raised the question was that it touches on the topics of
'clarity' and scanning for indicator useage.

But now that you've asked, I'll give it a try this evening and post the
results.
