I don't have any special optimization for this, and
I don't see much demand for it, since you can always say 
"without type_check".

Any optimization takes time and has the risk of introducing a bug.
I need to concentrate my efforts on areas where I can make 
a big difference, with little risk, and it will help a lot
of programs.
