Yes, you can print out each step in the C ver. If the issue turns out
to be in the /mr, then just more granular prints of everything.

The SV matches the C.

I wondered about that as well. It turns out it was useful in some
pre-git history in the C ver, and on a quick look is useful in some of
the vectorized versions (they go over).
