    The original CoreUtils have beenvetted through decades of use. They have been broken and fixed many times, and they have been hardened against so many edge cases, it’s not funny anymore. That’s where those 600 tests come from (mostly). Once they have brought the Rust tools to that level, how much performance advantage will there be left?
