Great work on figuring out all the details to make that work!

I guess my instinct would be to apply the patch for the slight benefit
in directness and performance, but I agree that the benefit is
minimal.   Still, I think it's a benefit.  I guess my view is that the
kino_Obj  C code is working at just about the same level as the Perl
internals, and thus has the right to do the job directly.

But I can see why you might prefer the better documented approach.

Thanks for looking into it,
