Re: m.*! not native?

I'm not sure.  The short answer is that I would love to have it better
optmized, but if it's not a priority for you guys, I understand.

I looked into optimizing it further myself, but I don't know enough about
the lisp optimization to proceed.  I managed to get around it by changing my
algorithm so I don't need to call it as often, but that solution may be
sub-optimal for me in the long run.

However, I may end up reimplementing my stuff in C++ (with Guile bindings)
for other reasons.  I'm not sure...
