Hi just getting around to this. This looks like clean code.

Overall what do the numbers look like comparatively ? I don't remember what the baseline numbers were. Do you have maybe a summary of the percent change (from the normal reduce /evaluate functions that take \F and the ones that take M31)?

I'm particularly interested in that detail about the branching logic and what difference (if any) it makes in performance.

Thanks and happy new (calendar) year!

@z-tech Happy new year! I will get back with the comparative summary.

Hi, this was addressed in: #99 so I'll close this out.

Ok. Thanks.
