Well, it's a sketch of an idea.
Elaborating it will blow up the amount of needed code again.

Right now, predicting any performance of a possible final state is not
possible. At least I'd expect no need for string searching/selection
and at least less list-selections.

Not sure what you mean with above.

Currently I've no idea, will think about it.
