OPINION ALERT!

I think callers should not have full power over a callee because 
you don't know as a caller how the callee works. Less generic 
code might have more lines of code, but at least it's easier to 
reason about as a user. Anyway, ignore me. I am ranting about 
current coding trends (global context systems, allocator APIs, 
...). Return to monkeyyy and write specific systems for specific 
problems.
