Granted, but while my background is maths it's not numerics and I know
where to find descriptions and implementations of complexity-wise
better algorithms.  Using them is just a matter of engineering, right?

Now there's a plan!  Let's see, how do we do that?  Excessive use of
dicts, unicode esoterica and multiple inheritance seems like a good
start.
