So far, it seems like lazy evaluation will force dynamic dispatch in that
case which is a big shame (i.e. you'd store the operations in one array,
arguments in another and then play them back at the assignment time).
I havn't tried something like expression templates in Rust yet. How
did you come to the conclusion that it would require dynamic dispatch?
It's just the first idea I had with how this could work, but you're
right, I can envision a way to do this without using dynamic dispatch.
It'd look something like something like this:
https://gist.github.com/SiegeLord/f1af81195df89ec04d10 . So, if nothing
comes out of this discussion, at least you'd be able to do that. Note
that the API is uglier, since you need to call 'eval' explicitly.
Additionally, you need to manually borrow 'm' because you can't specify
a lifetime of the &self argument in mul (another problem with
by-ref-self methods).
