I think it would make more sense if when possible (if the pin is a constant) the arduino IDE's preprocesser replaced digitalWrite,digitalRead and pinmode with direct port manipulation. It would combine the ease of use with the speed of port manipulation. It would also save abit of flash memory. for…

When possible why isn't digitalWrite and read also pinMode replaced?
