Would core not be able to implement an add() more efficiently than a get()/set()? I am especially concerned the get()/set() approach might require allocating memory for the returned array for every get().
There is no good way to add features to mutate the existing array without causing a net performance penalty considering the approximately 5% boost this RFC provides vs a userland function.
It is a micro-optimization written exclusively with a single large pre-generated list in mind.
It will be left to the voters to decide if 5% of an extremely common operation is worth the few dozen lines of code required.
