+==== The three different options ====
+At one point we will have three different options which code and level of indirection we are going to use.
+  - use the globals
+  - use the container structures but without indirection (x.foo)
+  - use the container structures with the indirection (x->foo)
+This will allow us at any time in the future to go back to this revision in the repository and benchmark all three levels with the very same code, should we find a serious regression in the future and want to know, if it was cause by the indirection or not.
+===== Benchmarking =====
