Indeed, John, this was a real zinger.Thank you for your patience andtechnical guidance, which hasbeen and continues to be profoundlyexcellent.
Thanks Matt for pioneering this thing.
So here is my personal(very very very subjective) rundown.
We will be able to* Yes, get all the syntactical comments.* Yes agree on docs and practical usage.* We will get some perf improvements, whereby I'm skeptical if these will vastly exceed 10-20%.* We might be able to wrap 1  non-conformant library,  but Matt is guiding the way  on this.
NO: We will NOT be able to* No, we will not be able to meet the factor of 10 speed exhibited by one particular architecture-specific library.

Thanks for managing the review John. We appreciate the vast number of comments and issues you consolidated for us. Chris and I will regroup, and work our way down the list.
