Yes, but IMHO you won't get the elegance back with the approach we're
talking about.  I'm not too happy about the many new classes I had to
introduce, but factoring out code into different methods basically
seems like the right thing to me.  Also note that the optimization is
not only to make the decisions only once but also to rely on the
implementation's method dispatch which is most likely faster than
pulling a closure out of a slot and funcalling it.

Anyway, I'd prefer if we leave the code as it is for now.

Thanks,
Edi.
