Sure. The type cache lookup has to be as much optimal as possible.
Using an array and relating sequential access to it, we avoid memory
allocations and deallocations 99.9% of the time. Also, quick access to
the single element (which we will have in real life almost all of the
time) is much faster than employing list machinery.
