OTOH, using indy/condy allows spinning to be delayed until
the actual first use of each API point, not when the header
as a whole is bound.

We have also been toying with the idea of a "mindy" —
Method-level indy, where the method as a whole has a
BSM that lazily generates the body.  With this, a whole
method body would turn into (basically) a condy item,
to be expanded only when the method is run.

If the signatures of the methods are statically fixable,
then a very early binding of the APIs and signatures
might usefully combine with a very late (maximally
lazy) binding of the implementations.  Best of both
worlds, and all that…

(Is that what you meant, Maurizio?)
