Call me party pooper or something but this whole things seems
to get way out of control.
In order to asses the quality of the new design, one need to
compare it to a baseline (aka the existing design) or one is
basically going blind and unlikely to end up anywhere.
There are obvious low hanging fruits in the existing design.
For instance using a region allocator and blast it all after a
CTFE run. It is like we have a car with square wheels, and you
guys a reinventing a whole new car without even trying to maybe
put round wheel on the existing one and see how it goes.
Overall, that means you are embarking in an expensive project,
with 0 visibility on the actual value provided.
I get your point.
However to stick with your car metaphor.
We have a car with square wheels and a weak frame.
As soon as round wheels enable it to go faster something else
will give.
Also I don't want a car.
I want a rocket.
