Yes, I absolutely see the reasoning and I think if one does go the route of encapsulating the more efficient array logic one can have the best of both options.

Do you see a way to do this that doesn't involve rolling your own array-like or list-like data type and replacing all uses of ordinary types with the new one? (This is actually already the implementation of standard Python types, but if you're encountering the problem, it isn't the implementation of your types.)
I guess it depends on the language and library you are using but I have the feeling that in most cases one would probably need to replace the usage of the old data type with the new one.
