It seems exclamation marks are for free today.
Are you complaining about putting 100 numbers in an array?
Are you implying that this is a performance problem? If you think it's
a userspace problem, then make a wrapper.
The API needs to be wrapped anyway, so this is no problem. The big
advantage here is that we have a powerful api with only a few
functions. In other words, we're keeping it simple.

This API is not inconvenient at all. What would be inconvenient is to
change the API at this stage.

Cheers,
