Clearly there can be a *storage management* benefit to having control
over what gets put where, so this does not need to be justified strictly
on a performance basis.

For features like this, we will feel free to evolve them or
revolutionize them with further development, so I'm not worried about
the backward compatibility issue for cases like this.
