That is exactly the kind of use-case I had in mind.
In fact, you can use it now if you use a custom dtype to hold your row
of data, rather than using a 2-d array.

Please do, and consider adding to and/or making suggestions to
accumulator -- why should we all re-invent this wheel?
To be far, you can do what you need by accumulating in a python list,
then making an array out of it when you are done -- and it will probably
be faster, but *may* take more memory.
