Paul, I asked the compiler team (specifically Barbra Morris) if they
ever planned on changing the layout of the indicator area and they said
no, that if they were to change that a lot of other things would have to
change as well.

Technically, there's really nothing in the spec that says the 99
conditioning indicators are in a row either, is there?  Yet people
sometimes count on that. 

Anyway, it may be dangerous, but I'll live with it.
