The Pareto principle offers ways to cope with the world's lack of simplicity.

You mentioned earlier that functions would need to be marked proisparallel etc..

What conditions will that be protecting against? If we aren't going to
support the general case where every single thing works, can we at
least discuss what the list of cases is that we will support.

I don't think we can argue that everything must be generic when we
already admit it won't be.
