I think of that, from a compiler perspective, as one of the features
that, if used, means you have to switch to a more inefficient representation.
I encourage the hard-code optimizing compiler people to keep plugging
away on Python. It's a convenient way to program, but the implementations
are slower than they should be a decade into the language's life cycle.
