That desired functionality is available in many userland libraries, I don't think we gain much from adding it to core. My aim is to make the core functions easier/safer to use out of the box.
That's true, but if we add it to core we can save people reimplementing it themselves or adding an extra dependency, and perhaps more pertinently, it could be the first step to making this the default behaviour.
