Interesting point.  I wish users do not need to worry about efficiency
as less as possible.  I'm trying to make everything efficient enough
for scripting language.  The problem is that the target domain of Ruby
is expanding every day.  No one even imagine embedding Ruby in a soft
real time system like commercial video games 5 years ago.
