True true, and I think I had to pull this 'safety value' once or twice before
with challenging / large package. I will re-read [1] and [2] and ponder.

riscv64 porters: I would of course also love to hear if you can offer any
advice. The package is a tricky one as it contains (a lot of) heavily
templated C++ code that is autogenerated via Swig for these Python
bindings. The compilation of that one file is tricky.

Best, Dirk
