It's certainly not necessary, but it is sometimes convenient. For example,
if you have any operations you want to be able to apply both to changes (in
the more general sense, such as permutation operations of lead end and
course ends and so on) and to rows (e.g. isInCourse()) you only have to
write them once, not twice.
