(this is outside my wheelhouse, so just as an aside): Could you explain
further what aspect of the change was that saved allocations? Lambdas
themselves don't allocate memory (std::function of a stateful lambda may
allocate memory - but I didn't see any std::function in your change, though
I might've missed it), so I'm guessing it's something else/some other
aspect of the code in/outside the lambdas and where it moved that changed
the allocation pattern?
