Because I can redefine one-normal-rand and callpay at any time. I
think this is what block-compilation is for.

I think it's a good idea to get rid of the compiler notes about
generic arithmetic first before trying to inline stuff, because that's
where you're spending all your time. Inlining just gets rid of the
function call and result-consing overhead.
