Meanwhile Jakub implemented a different mean which doesn't call the get_attr_ functions dynamically more often (which my approach potentially does), but which as result isn't nearly as effective in reducing size and compile and generation time. Some of the hunks of my patch still are useful cleanups/speedups, lemme submit them.
