With respect to returning iterators *instead* of arrays: I think that this imposes unnecessary restrictions. In various cases, one will want direct access to a particular element for querying and modification. If I know I want to query and conditionally change the value of atom 8, why should I have to call iterator.next() eight times instead of accessing the array directly.
