I don't see why it would be odd.
If I know my code is going to be working with 10,000,000 values,
then telling/hinting so it could prepare appropriately up front
rather than taking hits later seems useful. It's not like it
couldn't work without it right?
I'd hope for a few other features, like the AA could be
pre-initialized and ready to go, for fixed/immutable lists.
