Oh wow! I'm impressed. You, know back in the '50s we did something
like that. It was a dynamic abacus for fast math. Since it's
proprietary, I can't disclose its exact nature. It's even used
by the CIA.

Sure, kernel code is probably written using symbols, too. It's a
lot like user-space as well.

While you are at it, look at:
