   If you read the comments to the words 82:84 and 85:87, they say that 
the former indicate the supported features, and the latter indicate the 
enabed features AND in case a feature can't be disabled, the latter 
words will have the corresponding bit set. So it should be sufficient to 
check only one word.

   I think that it's preferrable to leave the operator on the same line 
with the first operand...
