IMO, we shouldn't focus too much on optimizing binops. Regular webapps/network 
kind of code wouldn't benefit from that, and scientific code that uses numpy/ml 
libraries already offsets most of expensive computation to outside of CPython 
eval. Instead, I think, we should continue focusing on lowering the cost of 
function/method calls and attribute access.
