BTW, I discussed this with John Cowan at length in bug 22034, starting at message #19: https://bugs.gnu.org/22034#19 In particular, I would be curious to know how you would fill in the same table that John attempted to fill in, here: https://bugs.gnu.org/22034#55 What numbers would you write in the second column of those tables?
