Yes, it's the simplest way to stub the whole sequence into doing
something useful.  When someone wants to get fancy, they can build a
vector of blocks, but that is much more work.  Definitely NOT great, but
better than nothing, which is what we have now.

'The whole thing' is the entire image in one swallow.
