That depends on what you mean by "built-in".  This is more subtle than

Thanks.

And don't forget: don't bother trying to optimize something until you're dissatisfied with

Absolutely. I just like to avoid doing things that are massively inefficient if I can avoid it, just in case things where it doesn't matter now wind up scaling later (yeah, i know, You Ain't Gonna Need It...)

Thanks again for the insight.
