Where do we draw the line with this? Is x *= 2 preferable to x <<= 2 as
well?
In addition to the obvious error, let's not use x += x as well. If you
want to multiple by two, do it.
Wasn't there a CPU where multiple was faster than add? Doesn't matter,
let the compiler make the optimizations so you don't have to.
