out of registers and cause register spilling.
+ // Basically you can't just call `l_full_data = left.value_unchecked(...)`,
+ // the compiler tries to inline the `value_unchecked` function, which
introduces many unnecessary variables on stack.

registers, which causes register spilling, which then causes unnecessary memory
access.

Review Comment:

need to force inline(never)... So I removed these comments..
