And closures! If curried functions get added (and they're just sugar for
closures) we're going to have to optimize them a *lot* more than Perl 5.

When we document this, can we move the low level interfaces out of the
pod directory? It would be a shame to have people accidentally start using
the internal interfaces just because they're well documented. ;) (And if
we say something like "this is fast" people will ignore all the warnings.)
