You save the method call and dispatch overhead. Same principle as
doing buffered I/O. It’s a trivial and possibly a debatable gain,
but it does exist.

I don’t see how implementing this would incur any noteworthy
complexity, tho, so I don’t know why it merits such a long
thread. Seems like a case of the bike shed colours to me. JFDI.
