So, at the risk of sounding like a bit of an arse here ... what's the
planned usecase?

I ask mainly because we already have a very extensively-engineered
pointer acceleration architecture, where 90% of the code could probably
be removed without more than seven people noticing.  I'm kind of wary of
adding another possibly-overengineered transformation architecture where
the only current feasibly-demonstrated usecase (TTBOMK) is rotation.

Of course, if we could demonstrate a real need for this, then great.
But I'm kind of nervous about making the input path more complex still,
just because we can.

Cheers,
Daniel
