How so? The reason intrinsics are used is because they can’t be
replicated at runtime. If you remove them then you lose that
functionality entirely.
As I wrote, for some it is needed. No arguments there.
But AFAIK many regular functions such as Length(), Inc/Dec() etc. are
also converted to intrinsics.
No doubt for performance reasons, but I'd rather have as little as
possible "compiler magic".
