It's impossible for me to be wrong when the question under
consideration is one of my intent in writing something in a particular
way.

Since the author of the PR provided no explanation of why he felt the
need to change data structures, I don't feel any obligation to do the
converse.  Perhaps he is right, and another data structure would be
more appropriate, but it is up to him to explain what brings him to
that conclusion -- ``Here, have some patches!'' doesn't cut it.
