Actually, as text it is convincing.  So my original analogy to CSS 
works, but your example of sum(*array) vs for(i = 0...) and making use 
of SIMD is also telling.

Who is working on these particular internals, if anybody?  Do I take 
from your last sentence that the answer is "partially nobody"?

I would /love/ to get my hands dirty on exactly this kind of 
restructuring and code work ... if only my hands weren't currently tied 
to a graduate degree that I also enjoy.  Sigh.

Cheers (and thanks for the extensive reply!),
