## Discussion

- Deprecating loop lifting
    - Less of a problem now that object mode is explicitly opted into, no fallback to it
    - Could try rewriting loop lift tests as nopython with object mode blocks
    - Sourcegraph shows some usage of `forceobj=True`.
- When to remove split type system?
    - Seems to be OK to move back to the old type system only now and remove the new one, which doesn't get used in practice and was not developed further
-
