I previously considered that idea, but that means that just defining SET_RATIO 
to be different than MOVE_RATIO won't do anything useful.  Making the default 
definition of SET_BY_PIECES_P use SET_RATIO and making the latter default to 
MOVE_RATIO seemed to be the best combination of avoiding breaking current 
backend code while making it easy to tweak in the future.  If I do it your way, 
there's no point in having SET_RATIO in the target-independent code at all, 
because nothing would refer to it.
