You might wish to read the design principles. In particular, I think this fragment explains my philosophy:

One of the jobs of the expert or experts who design the API is to know better
than the client programmers what they should be doing.
It is the API’s task to lead the client programmers in the right direction by making
the right path easy and the wrong path difficult to impossible.
At the extreme, it is the job of the expert to tell the client programmers
that they really don’t want to do what they think they want to do,
that they should do something else instead.

Lots of nice words, but still I fail to see how having to waste a bunch of CPU cycles for each HTTP request is the
right path, when all I want is to get rid of extra garbage in the logs....
