I considered it, even if just for performance optimization, but having 
multiple roots makes it a problem.

We should deprecate the "multiple roots" thing, actually, but external 
roots will stay with us, I think (they have their uses). Some larger 
rework of the API (and of external roots' representation) might make it 
viable, though.
