I would, again, argue that stuff like __splice_p() not be implemented at
all please. It will only cause a huge proliferation of stuff like this
that will not make any sense, and only cause a trivial, if any, amount
of code savings.
I thought you were going to not do this type of thing until you got the
gcc optimizer working for function callbacks.
Again, don't do this please.
