I should note that the latter is _much_ more likely to be fast, for
people who care about that sort of thin. In particular, it's much more
likely to be simple straight line code that operates on monomorphic
types than the former; the former is more likely to end up in some sort
of generic dispatch framework that ends up with polymorphic code to boot.
So it's much more likely that a JIT can usefully inline the latter and
compile it to just a few instructions than it is that it can do that
with the former...
