No, it is not a shared pointer. It is a different pointer with a
different batch. The idea is that each function gets its own batch.
That way there's always perfect alignment. This is why I'm suggesting
that my approach is faster.

Would you like me to roll your (slower) bitshifting idea as v2, or can
we stick with my v1?
