I have another question: is your API so flexible because it needs to
be? The 'range' option, especially the possibility of it and/or the
start position being negative, is responsible for a lot of the
function's complexity and performance too.

If you are just using this function for one specific thing on each
frame refresh, you could probably get big performance improvements by
making it less generic.
