Surely it must help a lot; looking up names is string operations. If
"len" could be replaced with "@10794928" where 10794928 is the actual
address of the len object, then it'd be doing no work that isn't
normally done, and would go straight to the object and call it.

But I don't really know how to go about profiling this to be sure. Any ideas?
