I don't wish to degrade anyone's contributions to this thread, but this really is the perfect example of making a lot of fuss over nothing on the mailing list and an example of the kinds of discussion we should be avoiding when there are so many other important problems we can solve.
While discussing use cases may be better done on the general list ... where it will help users understand the differences ... Lars comparisons of approaches is an ideal example of an internals discussion over whether an extra shortcut is needed and how it might be implemented.
Given some of the discussions here on how to remove a few characters from something that IS irrelevant, it's nice to see a thread that I can follow, understand, and does contribute to tidying and improving the performance of code. The arrays API is one area that has been flagged as needing rationalising and Lars examples are good explanation of why?
