Gary Lucas commented on IMAGING-117:
------------------------------------
I recommend caution on this kind of change. If we make a "safe copy" of an
array every time a get() method asks for one, we could end up making a lot of
redundant copies of the same thing. This action would have a strongly negative
impact on performance especially in image processing where some of these calls
are made (literally) millions of times.
It is probably better to restrict the "safe copy" tactic to public methods only
and just hope that whoever writes code using protected methods is careful
enough to not modify an array he gets from the method.
