yes, it is, though: it's the conversion from double to int that is wrong.
it might not generate the set/used warnings--i don't know about that--but
that code in the Alef code generator is wrong to start with.
it assigns to one int (when it should be a double) then loads from another.
it's all my fault, of course, since i wrote it, but i suspect it was left that
way by accident, when i was part way through.  unlike qc (where i got it right)
i never used Alef and thus qal much for floating-point work, and i never subsequently noticed.
