In general, it'd be very useful to have a way to say the equivalent of 
@unroll_safe at applevel, although then it could be used very badly if you 
don't know exactly what you are doing.

I think that cfbolz once started a branch to give hints from applevel, but 
then he never finished. Is that correct?
