There was a suggestion to make .clear (a relatively new
feature) actually preallocate if it's currently null, but I
didn't want to do allocating in that method (too surprising).
I do think it would be nice to have an initializer function
that simply allocates the impl.
q&n patch[1]. it adds template arg to `.clear`, so no code
breakage here (old `clear` is still not allocate, but
`.clear!true` will).

I'm with Steven here, that's definitely too surprising,
initialization should not be linked to clear in any way.
