Yes, but "modulo efficiency" is not something you want to do when you're talking network traffic. If this were just allocating a bit of memory, then I might be inclined to let it duplicate the work (if the API were sufficiently beautiful to justify it, which IMHO this one isn't), but a full HTTP round trip? And this is presumably all synchronous, as otherwise all sorts of things would get messy (you'd have a string that doesn't have a value yet... could be awkward).
