2- What we're talking about is function call (trampoline or

moving to the surrouding characters is more complex than p++ and p--,
and you would want to change that to a _function_call_ ?
Totally off-topic, but if someone mentions the "30%" figure once
again, I'll SCREAM! It's a myth. Subjectively, Mule is at least 3
times slower than non-Mule -- and Martin's benchmarks confirmed that
"30% slowdown" is an insulting euphemism.
Not that I have any problem with what you, Olivier, are saying here --
I just want to draw everyone's attention that repeating the 30% myth
won't make it true.
