You can at least try to hide ugly optimizations in subroutines while keeping the subroutines' "contracts" clear.

It's actually kind of a nice thing about optimizations that are non-portable, because the fallback implementation can act as an explanation of what the code does. Clearly commenting optimized code is a difficult art.
