API Change Contact Email Address?

Short of using Delete a Contact and then "Create or Update a Contact Using a Single Method" (which triggers an undesired Welcome email), how can I change a contact's email address via API?

 

This very common use case is not covered (within constraints)?

 

There does not appear to be an update contact method using contact_id, which not only would be ideal but seems essential?
