Thanks Winston! I'm amazed that "[[" beats calling the .Internal
directly. I guess the difference between .Primitive vs. .Internal is
pretty significant for things on this time scale.
NULL meaning NULL and NULL meaning undefined would lead to the same path
for much of my code. I'll be swapping
I've looked at related speed issues in the past, and have a couple
related points to add. (I've put the info below at
