I beg to differ. Native functions speed things up. My suggestion is both 
sane and safe as it is.

This suggestion falls into the exact same category as 
getElementsByClassName.

A. There are existing functions that has similar abilities.

B. This is a very common and repetitive task.

C. Adding this won't break any current code.
