I rejected what clearly looked like unsafe and unclean design. Please
respect the opinions of those who have deeper knowledge of Emacs
internals and many years of experience hacking them. Your insistence
on doing things in sub-optimal ways when much better ways are at hand
makes it hard to discuss these issues with you and arrive at sound
solutions that can be trusted not to produce bugs in the future.

Actually, no, there aren't. "Quick and dirty" is okay for rapid
prototyping and presenting a POC, but not for changes that get
admitted into core.
