OK, understood.

I wonder though if all things considered (format string parsing, definition
lookup, varargs processing) this pays off. I got no data on this, but one
counter-argument might be that, for custom functions, one would expect no/very
few conditionals, so we would likely see no/very few pipeline stalls .
