As per your statement above I will create a get_array instead of using
caller context, so that we truly do 'know that it returns what it is
supposed to'.

It's not my project, it belongs to everyone. My dissent is not because I'm
opposed to input, but simply because I don't agree with your argument.
That's what makes better software. If you don't convince me it doesn't mean
I won't do it. However if it becomes a problem support-wise, it will likely
be too late to remove it.
