Namespace:
T[] buffer = new T[N]; assumes more space than stated (in
average 2010 elements more. See:
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/af92ad22c). It behaves exactly like
reserve and that is IMO wrong. If I reserve memory with
buffer.reserve(N), I want to have at least N elements. That
behaviour is correct. But if I use new T[N] I mostly want
exactly N elements and no extra space.
Thoughts?
In Python if you append items to an array, it sovra-allocates,
but if you create an array with the [x] * n syntax, then it
creates a list (array) exactly of size n.
