I think we should implement the flexibility. If we do not implement, and
we want it later, we can not reuse these codes(add new element, and reimplement).

I'd prefer the flexibility.

IBM's performance team has tested this patch, and they said this patch
produced the expected and desired performance characteristics.

Hi, izumi-san,
Do you still object this implement?
