I agree that is closer, but it does make for calling that big complex
function for every iteration step.

Of course, you are right that the callback approach is problematic
too, now that we have retpoline issues, making those very expensive.
But at least that hopefully gets fixed some day and gets to be a rare
problem.

Matter ot taste, I guess.
