That's a very legitimate concern and indeed is one of the major arguments
in favor of thin bindings. However, it is still reasonable to worry
about execution time efficiency! (I don't understand your comment about
compilation time here, I don't see that as an issue at all).
From my point of view
(a,b,c,d,e,f,g)
is as reasonable translation of
a,b,c,d,e,f,g
as
a & b & c & d & e & f & g
actually, I think it is MORE reasonable. Now of course we can have & take
care of the conversions if they are needed automatically, in which case
the fair comparison is with
(+a,+c,+c,+d,+e,+f,+g)
but still that's fairly reasonable, and I don't think any of these
conventions will intefere with inter-lobel transfer of knowledge.
