Hi,

Have you benchmarked the performance effects of 2889fd23be5 ? I'd not at all
be surprised if it lead to a measurable performance regression.

I think callbacks for individual attributes is the wrong approach - the
dispatch needs to happen at a higher level, otherwise there are too many
indirect function calls.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
