OFF (side comment):
would be great, if the compliler would able to change/swap the original slow V3.5 drawing and paint routines with newer, blazing fast ML ones, not to mention an optimized SSHAPE and GSHAPE for a potential sprite simulation within BASIC  (the holy grail. it is almost there, but slow, probably beacsue of the too many arguments and possible options set in the original routine, not to mention the blinking due to uncontrolled timed writing to gfx memory)
Less complex commands with less parameters (kind of limitation) could be more sufficient for BASIC development than the currently slow ones (just passing the compilation).
I remember there were some fast gfx routines in a C=64 HW hacking magazine, not to forget the suprisingly fast drawing routine of LITWR (HN2010YC)...
