For the record, I don't expect we will get all the way back there.  I 
consider it a design feature that we are keeping the initializer around 
in the compiler: that allows us to (in theory) pull elements out of it 
if they are referenced.  With that capabitility comes a cost.

That is not to say that we should not keep going with your work of course!

FYI, Jeffrey Oldham is working on operator-precedence parsing; hopefully 
he'll have a patch soon.
