It seems natural to use a version control system so that one can evolve and maintain the "clean" trunk of the code, while keeping the accumulated wisdom of manual performance optimizations as branches / patch sets. I wonder if there are any opportunities for integration of this model into the language itself (type-safe patch sets?) or its tools. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
