I have to say this is very late. Yes, the MR is a bit older, but it
also touches very core parts of LilyPond. On the other hand, the
compilation isn't enabled by default and the other change is about the

Large scores on Windows won't be any different from 2.23.13, what I
tested locally was master of bdwgc. It's not yet even backported to
