Backport of #12317.
TL,DR: This significantly speeds up dispatch for
__array_function__
, reducing the overhead down to about 0.7 microseconds for typical cases (vs 2-3 microseconds currently with a pure Python implementation). For functions that handle many arguments (likeconcatenate
), this reduces the overhead of dispatching by something like 100x, i.e., from "makes concatenate 4x slower" to "barely unnoticeable".
