I think I’d like to see an evaluation of potential code-size increase that
could impact more constrained platforms.
I don’t particularly care about code bloat on amd64 or aarch64 (I mean, I do,
but the number of peolpe who don’t care greatly outnumber me and those are
hills I’m not particularly interested in). I do care about m68000 / m68k and
vax and 32-bit sparc, though. And I don’t think the skr1pt k1dd13s are
targetig those.
