By and large this is nothing a good optimizing JIT can't handle
without static typing information. QKS is getting a 10-100X improvement
in Python execution speeds without modifying the Python language.

This I can agree with.

Sure. Pretty easy to implement yourself, of course, saving the first-class
language support. Although one can imagine something like:

var = []!
