> For a reproducer, see the benchmark for `run_SuffixAnySequence` - that is utterly dominated by wending elements from the underlying sequence using generic witness table. There is no specialization occurring at all. As I’ve reasoned in my original e-mail, this is understandable - semantics of _AnyIteratorBox used in AnyIterator’s `next` method require virtual dispatch.
