Not a dumb thought. It's "standard" with boats that have full-batten mainsails

You can also reduce halyard line diameter e.g. use 8mm (3/8) instead of 10mm (7/16) so the cost and weight penalty is not double. Another benefit is that there is half the compressive load on the mast (from the halyard) compared with a standard halyard.
