I know it's good to use sizehint! with an estimate of the sizes of 
(variable-length) containers such as vectors, but I have a couple of 
questions I'm hoping someone could answer:

1) what are the benefits of using sizehint!? (How does it work, and under 
what circumstances is it beneficial?)
2) what are the implications (positive/negative, if any) of overestimating 
the size of a container?

Thanks.
