They do, in fact, save on network traffic over multiple *Arc or
*Rectangle calls. I actually wrote and submitted the code to implement
the plural versions of those functions back in the early days of the 1.1
series, but I guess it never got accepted by the powers that be. Not
entirely sure why.
Owen? I think you were the one that told me how to submit the code via
