Gee, SAFEARRAYs stored lbounds, and they seemed quick enough for most
purposes.

For most purposed it probably is but C developers are used to very high
speed arrays which enables some functionality that you can't get out of VB.
Eg, high speed modification of bitmaps or video streams.

Don't act stupider than you already do. SAFEARRAYs also hold pointers to the actual
data. If you want to get right into the bytestreams, nothing (in VB!) is holding
you back. I do it all the time, when performance is critical. It's an elegant
structure/concept, and there was absolutely no need to throw it away and start over
with a new (and fundamentally flawed) design.
