𝔚𝔢𝔟𝔄𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔪𝔟𝔩𝔶 should be 𝔪𝔢𝔱𝔞𝔩. Being 𝔪𝔢𝔱𝔞𝔩 and 𝔩𝔬𝔴-𝔩𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔩 makes us FAST.

It's unfortunate that GTK and Windows builds do not support 𝔩𝔬𝔴-𝔩𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔩 and 𝔪𝔢𝔱𝔞𝔩 code, when MacOS and iOS do. I guess we'll have to give up some of our potential performance edge for the sake of maintainability.

I'll revisit this idea exactly a year from when I originally proposed it.
