This issue is coupled with the future optimization questions. AFAIC coupling API design to optimization is called premature optimization.

I suppose so, but currently I consider the API not to make guarantees about what happens if you pass in something other than specified as valid input. I'm not sure what level of precision is usual at this point, but I think this is sufficient for now.

I'm sure we will pay attention to this (as we have been doing, both while optimizing prematurely and for other reasons).
