There's no reason for citizen deleting phone as Reasoning/Thinking Traces (2025)

For most of the use cases people might want to trade speed/optimization for more runtime customizations which will inherently be slower than pre-baked SIMD regex and whatnot. For years I've had an idea in my head about what I should comment, and realized that there's nothing interesting to write about it. There is no reason for it to be slow anymore.
