Interesting thread, I will read with interest, thx. 🙂

Just be clear, this particular comment was referring to the sequential loops written with `@floop`, not the parallel loops. See the `BlockVector` speedup w.r.t `iterate` in [[RFC/ANN] FLoops.jl: fast generic for loops (foldl for humans™)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/rfc-ann-floops-jl-fast-generic-for-loops-foldl-for-humans/37876) (Note: back then there was no parallel `@floop`). You can also manually write nested loop quite easily in this case anyway and you don’t need it to be generic over collection type. So probably I shouldn’t have shoehorned FLoops advertisement 🙂
