FWIW, I don't believe this complexity of API is worth it. It

Big-Oh isn't particularly useful, but having an upper bound on
actual running time is useful in real time programming.
What would be more useful is to have the compiler infer worst
case number of cycles or operations or cachelines affected,
whether it allocates or not, whether it can lock, whether it can
result in system calls etc.
I don't think the handwritten documentation is all that useful,
but measured performance using a test suite on a given
architecture could be very useful!
