It changes the amount of work required to arrive at a solution.
Indeed. Instead of calling stencil-integrate on a "surrogate stencil"
or whatever for deriving a skyline, the respective stencil operation in
stencil-integrate will just plug in a a "surrogate skyline" directly
specified in the stencil operation and be done.
Which is less work.
