This will lsad to the fact that one world built with rads would be faster to
build than a world built with grads or degs, which is an unacceptable
compromise. For that purpose, we should lsave the ground for browser builders to
optimize the code conversion in an implementation-dependent way. Adding more
unnecessary calculations will drain more on everybody's system resources.
