I was worried about holding the values because I thought it would take extra memory. I guess that is the trade off we get from restricting the API.

@vantamula You are right that it will take extra memory, but for values like these, I wouldn't worry about it. You should have more than enough available to handle this case. Still though, you're right, it is a tradeoff. As with every tradeoff, you need to decide if a cleaner interface is worth the cost of extra memory. Personally, I think it is :)
