I got my first calculator in 1975: Sharp EL-120
Still got it.

My school allowed calculators for classwork "upper" high-school
(year 12), but not exams in 1976. Slide-rule ruled. Along with trig
and log tables.

Mathematics class bought TI-30s that year. That was when they still
taught calculus and statistics in high school.

This (the blank stare) is much more likely when you add various lose 
change, so that the amount to be returned will significantly reduce the 
number of coins, but still not a simple amount.

Indeed.  Fortunately usually the desire to avoid holding up the line
keeps me from being *too* clever.  :-)?

Me too, although if they're not busy I sometime will use the
opportunity to unload excess change/small bills.  I paid $14.68 for
something the other day, was the only one in line, and had been loaded
down with singles and change.  A twenty, three singles, and $1.68 in
change (mostly dimes and nickels, to boot).  The young lady handled it
just fine, although she did count my change twice.

But I wouldn't do that if there were a bunch of people behind me.

Exactly! The fully general abitrary set of arbitrarily ordered source 
bits is indeed elegant, but extremely rarely needed. (OTOH, I suspect 
emulation of a heavily extended instruction set, with bits added 
wherever they would fit, could be a candidate? In those cases JIT seems 
to be the proper solution.)

And this is the real issue!

All those funky packed pixel formats need all 3(4) of rgb(a) components, 
so having to use 6-10 instructions to extract them all is both power and 
time expensive.

In this case, probably so.

A bitfield S/G operation would be neat:

With 256-bit registers you can have up to 16 16-bit destination fields, 
each would require 12 or 13 bits to specify (starting offset + length).

Unpack a bunch of 10:11:10:1 rgba pixels by first loading two registers 
with the the same pattern, but applied to the first and second half of a 
256-bit input. Each pixel becomes a 16:16:16:16 block in the destination 
register.

The result would be one load and two unpack operations to convert 8 
input pixels.

With 128-bit SSE registers things fit less well: You must have length 
masks of at least 3 bits (1-8) in order to be able to extract byte 
values, leaving just 5 bits to specify starting position, i.e. just 
enough to cover a 32-bit source register.

Going to the same 16-bit bitmask specifiers leaves room for just 8 of 
them, so you would only have room to specify/unpack two source pixels.

I.e. you would still need three operations while unpacking 4 input pixels.

This reminds me:

Inspired by the IEEE-478 floating point standard with its "gradual
underflow", I had come up with an idea I called "extremely gradual
underflow"...

http://www.quadibloc.com/crypto/mi060101.htm

but it turned out I had only reinvented something that already
existed. The 8-bit representation of analog signals by A-law encoding
can be viewed as an 8-bit floating-point format which achieves an
extended range by allowing the exponent field to shrink at the
extremes.
