are there any future plans to write more straight-to-texture-ram objects like pix_imageInPlace?

an equivalent to pix_image (singular) or a buffer that doesn't need sequentially named files would be nice

i may be misinformed but i don't see any reason to use pix_image processes for static images - as they seem to consume more resources 

and another question - is there currently a way to convert a raw list of numbers into an image, as a pix_set object does, but store it in a buffer along with other images? i think this might be a flexible option with an object like pix_imageInPlace
