This is looking better! L49 is giving me a little anxiety though, I'd really love to see some kind of justification for that decision. Compare e.g. to Lemire's[1].

EDIT: To be clear, I do understand that I'm making an unreasonable demand. I know the process that came up with this program has no ability to justify this or that "decision" (deliberately scare quoted because it doesn't actually have agency and can't decide at all). And that's the problem. That's why I find it very difficult to trust it.
