I do not wish for this thread to become an analysis of the pros and cons of deoptimization and its dangers, nor speculation on my motivation for doing so.

I understand that, and I expect you are aware of the risks of what you are trying to achieve.

However, I am conscious that many people reading the thread may not necessarily be as advanced as you appear to be. If the thread does no more than you wish, I feel that some people may be misled.

I don't think a slight drift - hardly off topic - will harm your central point ;)
