In case the compiler encounters a fully applied builtin (i.e. no currying is occurring) and the `builtins` global is unshadowed, it could compile the equivalent operator bytecode instead: For - example, `builtins.add 20 22` would be compiled as `20 + 22`. + example, `builtins.sub 20 22` would be compiled as `20 - 22`. This would ensure that equivalent `builtins` can also benefit from special optimisations we may implement for certain operators (in the absence of currying). E.g. we could optimise access |
