=E2=80=8Bonce there's been a discussion about that. Can we factorize all th=
is code
into one place, one generic concept ?
This would make things so simple and efficient in the end.

What do you mean exactly by "high-performance" ?=E2=80=8B

- Could it also be a convenient wrapper library with good interfaces to

=E2=80=8BThere's been a lot of them written over the years. They're old now=
 and
having a simple way for the user to choose a "backend" would be great.
