Hi,

Thanks! Happy new year to you too!

Thanks for your suggestion. I would wait a bit and first get some 
feedback on the design/approach of my patches before doing the 
refactoring. The current code is very much a WIP where I just copied 
functions to be able to make specialized variants of them aimed at bulk 
extension and then benchmark those. If the refactoring needs to be done 
before I can get feedback on the design / approach then let me know.

Kind regards,
Luc
