To make sure I understand correctly, you're suggesting something like adding a new set of special method slots, teadd, temul, etc.

I wasn't thinking in that much detail, TBH. I'm not sure adding a whole set of new slots is sensible for such a specialised case. I think I was more assuming that the special method implementations could use an alternative calling convention, METH_STACK in place of METH_VARARGS, for example. That would likely only be viable for types implemented in C.

But either way, it may be more complicated than the advantages would justify... Paul
