I usually just lurk.
In other contexts, I've sometimes done informally ombudsish stuff.
This seems to me that it is important enough and intractable enough to
deserve a switch. This would be information to the compiler that this
code either does or does not have a lot of templating and such. High
templating behavior (sacrificing a little run-time performance for some
compile-time speed) COULD be the default for such as C++, and off by
default for Fortran.
I think there are two opposed sets of genuine needs in this area, and
both groups should get what they want.
Probably not the ideal name.
No warranty. No ego.
With great respect for this community.
