So effectively the register keyword doesn't serve any purpose anymore
nowadays.  What would be the point in leaving it in?

Also, I am actively working on the tail source code in order to fix up
some of its weirdness.  Just committing things, which IMHO (after
consulting a bit with markm and eivind about standard issues) are not
needed in today's world anymore.

Shooo John, go back to your kernel work. :)))
