Not to throw shade, just wishing that somebody here can understand. Whenever an input is reasonably long, an analyzing function will crash, and this PR aims to fix that with a mechanism that contradicts the maintainer’s understanding while a similar C implementation does not need this fix.

After the xz debacle, I think we should resist the temptation to rush maintainers into accepting code that they don’t fully understand.
Yeah, I’m just asking if anyone actually understands this facet.
There is no evidence that any human understands computers.
