But will you get any good lookahead performance?  I mean, you are relying on the user putting nodes into containers that will result in good performance, but the user may not know that he or she needs to be conscious of this.  This is kind of an implicit API that is arguably not a feature.  Plus, nodes may exist in many containers simultaneously, for different configuration reasons.
