Review Comment:
   Is that directly related to this PR? Or a more general observation?
   
   AFAIK, rust container allocations _are_ amortized, e.g. 
[Vec](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#guarantees) docs state:
   > Vec does not guarantee any particular growth strategy when reallocating 
when full, nor when reserve is called. The current strategy is basic and it may 
prove desirable to use a non-constant growth factor. Whatever strategy is used 
will of course guarantee O(1) amortized push.
   
   So hopefully that's enough to avoid quadratic silliness even if we don't 
reserve, leaving only constant factors on the table?
