I can't imagine this being a problem, though. I mean, I can't imagine somebody using \arpeggioArrowUp, modifying the 'X-extent to some other value, and then getting confused why \arpeggioNormal removed the X-extent. Dump a sentence in the docs about this, but really... the kind of people who do their own tweaks can figure this out on their own. In other words: if somebody doesn't make their own tweaks, would \arpeggioNormal (as described) produce any confusion? No? Ok, then we're good to go.
