You're not missing anything. Indeed, with my proposed solution, there will be some extra work happening during the lookups. I don't think we should be concerned by that though, if we don't know of any usecases where that would be a measurable performance issue. Plus, in the thread-safety work I'm currently doing, I'm replacing with object lookup hash table with something static and faster, so I'm fairly sure the overhead will not be a problem in any realistic usecase. Moreover, we can add the simple API that addresses the API gap, and always add an iterator API later if we really see a real performance issue with the simple API. Up to you in the end.
