Thanks for writing Phoenix in the first place!

I think we have to make compile-time performance a priority -- and it 
may influence the extensibility API. If we bill this as Lambda-2 and it 
causes noticeable compile lag over Lambda-1, folks will be rightly 
disappointed.

Frankly, I wish I had the template profiler before I settled on Proto's 
extensibility API because I might have done things differently.

Yes, please.
