Yeah, I think if it's going to be available, it has to be as a function so it can be used as a callback. I can cook up a patch for an operator version in addition to the functional version, although I don't know that the performance benefit would necessarily be worth the extra complication (or potential confusion for users of having two ways to skin the same cat).
