    Thanks for the update -- but wouldn't that make this performance
issue worse?
I.e.
let W = work and "F" = overhead of func call.
going from  "func{W}" -> "W" saves 1/3rd of the time,
so "F" = 50% of the execution time of 'W'.


Going to F(F(W)), would be likely to mean 2 units of F
overhead for 2 units work.  I.e. going to the
inline-alias would save 50% execution time.
