If the API is well written, this is an implementation detail.

Well, it depends on the project goals. For a GUI app I can agree but good luck writing a chess engine where data representation is hidden behind an abstract interface.

Abstract as in using bit-boards or proper abstraction as in giving a clean interface to interact with a model and let the implementation worry about itself?
