If we are talking my personal Elisp - of
course! It will rather be like having an impact
driver in my tool box - it is a good feeling to
have and to understand, but will it improve my
life quality in terms of its functionality,
which obviously is the reason for its
existence? Probably not or at least
very rarely!

If we are talking the insanely long functions
of Gnus, if the funcall overhead is the reason
for that, I don't see why modularization plus
inlining couldn't be one puzzle piece of
the remedy.
