I'd like to decouple "upgraded to Object" vs "materialize full array",

I also think "upgrade to Object" is dangerous to even offer since it's
so costly.
I'm right with you. I didn't think the Object approach was really an
upgrade (beyond losing the merge, which is especially important for
StringIndex - it has no merge option at the moment) which is why I left
both options for now. So I def agree we need to move to iterator, drop
object, etc.
Its the doin' that aint so easy. The iterator approach seems somewhat
straightforward (though its complicated by needing to provide a random
access object as well), but I'm still working through how we control so
many iterator types (I dont see how you can use polymorphism yet ).
