Depending on the design of the mutation notification system and what
level of complexity people find palatable, it would naturally also be
possible to serialize lazily and additionally limit when the values
are available (further style changes made by the listener could in-
validate the information and you'd get an exception on access, for
instance). So the information being available as part of the API does
not necessarily imply performance problems.
