very long [list] operations for example, as well as some 
externals like [repeat], [for], [foreach], most of GridFlow with huge 
inputs or huge outputs, operations on very large arrays, including 
built-in array methods and vasp, and GEM/PDP on very large images or large 
convolution kernels (when supported), etc.
