Are there any plans to add this sort of optimisation (as opposed to `maybe,
at some point in the unplanned future')?

This kind of optimisation seems aimed at singly-threaded objects, so can
I assume that once nested unique modes get sorted out this will become
less of a problem, thanks to update-in-place?
