Sorry Andrei, I have to disagree with that in the strongest possible

Moving AAs from a built-in to a library type has been an unmitigated
disaster from the implementation side. And it has so far brought us
*nothing* in return. Not "hardly anything", but *NOTHING*.
It would be premature to conclude from this as the conversion is incomplete.
I don't even
have any idea of what good could possibly come from it.
Using static calls for hashing and comparisons instead of indirect calls
comes to mind.
