7. Faster operations on numeric arrays (eg add 2 lists of numbers)

BTW, although Quantum::Superposition::ForReal is tough (because it relies on
existentially-challenged Quantum Computers),
Quantum::Superposition::PrettyDamnFast is a possibility. Using pipelined
operations on single CPU machines, and parallelising on multi-CPU machines,
would be quite effective for Q::S.
