Benefit for me is that I do not have to call toArray() :)
No, the main reason against the array renderer was that the generated
array does not allow access to the elements by their ID.
It only has a number-based index that does not help anyone.

$ar = $form->render(new HTML_QuickForm2_Renderer_Array())->toArray();
$ar['elements'][0]['id']
$ar['elements'][1]['id']
....

That's what bit me here. Since I needed to hack my own renderer because
of that problem, I wanted to do it right - without creating an array
that contains information which is not used in 50% of my cases.
