Right. Here's my (small) roadmap:
1. Experiment a bit more with static allocation, notably for subrs,
and see whether it's worth it.
2. Provide additional benchmarking results, based on those by Clinger,
Hansen et al., which are in the repo. I'd like to have a
reasonable understanding of what they do, though.
Additional feedback from interested parties could also be helpful in
trying to reach a decision.
Thanks,
Ludo'.
