I hate to be rude, but rather than argue till you're blue in the face that
these are wasteful functions that would be better off replaced by a "pair
of functions", why not show us those two functions?

The same goes for many of your ideas.  I'm all for improvements to circle,
and discussions of improvements, but these "discussions" don't seem to be
elightening anyone, and no improvements (ie: actual code) have been
offered.

Since nobody else has jumped at the chance to implement your ideas,
they're probably only going to happen if you take the initiative.  If your
ideas translate well to code and are an improvement over what we've got, I
think that will be the end of the argument.

Anyway, that's my attempt at a diplomatic translation of "shit, or get off
the pot."
