I had a case once where I needed to convert a single serial data stream
(sortof like Manchester) into synchronous clock and data.  There were only
something like 5 instructions per half-bit on a 20MHz PIC.  I did this by
using the interrupt input like a "GOTO 4" input pin.  There was no main code
after initialization.  There was no RETFIE instruction and the stack just
overflowed, but that didn't matter because there were no calls.
