Yes, all API variants I have proposed should result in the equivalent
performance, to the best of my knowledge.
I would even say that {lo, hi} one is easier on VMs for two reasons:
- VMs tend to have some sort of escape analysis / allocation sinking
and they can incorporate { lo, hi } support int
Some people find "global" state that this proposal introduces bad. I
see two ways addressing this:
- Returning {lo, hi} object.
Pros: no global state, in combination with destructuring allows to
write concise code, overhead can still be optimized away.
Cons: performance of polyfill is abysmal on

Aaah. Thanks for pointing this out - I thought only of the polyfill
performance

Alternative step 5: Math.H is assigned ch'.

The main reason for H being one shot is to allow optimizing compiler
*elide* updating it in most cases to eliminate memory traffic.
After thinking about it a bit I propose the following alternative step 5:
Math.H is from the very beggining a non-conf
