It would be better to test these with JET, Val can be useful but has a large compile time cost. If you are using parameterized Val{symbol} for dispatch / specialization then it might be cleaner to refactor them into types.

Yeah, I agree that it'd be ideal to use JET / unit tests, I figured we'll wait until 1.7 is released and we can incorporate it into our CI.

I also agree about avoiding the use of Val, it's just the simplest thing for now (to see if these are in fact the source of allocations) since there's not a ton of combinations, and we're using these symbols with getproperty.
