This is actually the problem. There are many fine details which
can affect performance and correctness. So about there are only
two sensible ideas to treat such ideas: either implement them,
or ignore them.

If you think your approach could work, please try to implement
it. It's not that anybody is objecting the goal; there is just
debate about the feasibility of the implementation.

So if you can come up with an implementation, we are in a much
better position to praise or criticise the approach: it then
becomes possible to study whether the implementation is really
compatible with the current Python, and whether it really does
improve performance.
