Fair enough, so that means that you'd want to merge your patch down first, right? If so I'll rebase my series on top of your patch and then resend it soonish.

In any case, I noticed a slight regression in one of the benchmarks that prints all objects, but I attributed it to CI flakiness [1]. The uptick didn't seem strong enough to really be a regression, and I'm still not sure whether it's related to this patch series or not. Chances are it is. I'll investigate and make sure to extend the benchmarking suite accordingly so that we have a clearer signal there.

Thanks!
Patrick
