Well put - and agreed, this mirrors my reasoning. Tests using the API is not sufficient to know how it will be useful to use it in client applications. I will merge this API as-is once it is marked as unstable. Maybe something like /* * This API is unstable. It will be improved in response to your * feedback. */ ?
