Hi,

I'll get back on the other things later, but a short comment (flaming)
on this:

Looking at any benchmark from 5.2 to 5.3 to 5.4 and 5.5 shows notable
improvements (5.4 to 5.5 maybe not as much as the others) saying we do
little is a bit misleading.

But well, it is simpler to do these syntax sugar things we're
bikeshedding about than doing actual core improvements. We have just
very few people fully understanding the engine and being able to improve
it. So such discussions gain no traction.
