I love this approach as a way of driving low level performance forward!  How do
you anticipate this working in practice?

For example, if someone says “I can shave 1 cycle out of this important thing if
I write it in asm” and you know that a suitably capable compiler engineer can
achieve the same thing given enough time, how do you plan to push back?
