    <p>I figured you were serious with it.  I've garned a reputation, it
      seems!</p>
    <p>I have some organisation to figure out first, since I've got to <a
        moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32913">fix a bug</a>,
      begin development of pure functions and update my patches for the
      x86-64 optimiser overhaul so it will still merge.</p>
    <p>Granted, loop optimisaion is something that's cropped up a few
      times, both in terms of vectorisation and also taking advantage of
      pure functions.  I can't promise anything, but I'll certainly take
      a look.</p>
    <p>As for learning new things... it's true.  I learnt so much about
      nodes while developing the XML node dump feature.</p>

      Well, it was meant seriously. You mentioned more than once that
      you like
      <br>
      optimizations. This one would be a real big improvement for a
      pattern that
      <br>
      is often encountered.
      <br>
      <br>
      It's also probably technically challenging, so you will learn a
      lot (or so I
      <br>
      assume).
      <br>
      <br>
      Seems like a perfect fit to me...
