Yes:
1) increase core compilation time and executable size
2) inadvertently break something
3) maybe that it will be required to adapt some upper layer functions making
too restrictive assumption about its basic arguments
1) can be quantified/profiled; 2) is by nature random; about 3) changes will
have to be carefully evaluated in order not to break previously working code
not aware of High Precision numbers
