Jon says
"This just isn't accurate. Sure, you can go a reasonable way with
this. But finalization stuff just doesn't catch many typical cases
and it is _way_ expensive. Also, you have to put in all the effort
for something which would be directly useable.
"
First, it is not finalization but adjust that is the critical function.
But in any case the above claim is technically incomprehensible, please
elucidate.
