(,u)^:n is a clever form. It does do a lot of copying, which is what
the JE design is trying to avoid; and if u returns a list it will
produce a list rather than a table.
I think it's harsh to say that the code with restarts is not 'working
right'. It just has the side effect. I agree that it would be better
without the side effect, and I think that's feasible.

That said, I hope the other forms are fixable and get fixed to work
right. (Working correctly should take precedence over working fast,
and in the extreme cases where that's a significant problem, that just
means you need a different facility which has a different design for
"working correctly".)
