Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:

Serhiy, if I understand this, it _could_ pay big with even just a few 
operations.  For example,

    [0] * 1000000 + [1] + [2] + [3]
    
As-is, we'll copy the million zeroes three times.  WIth the patch, more likely 
the original vector of a million zeroes would be extended in-place, three times 
with a single element each time.

But I don't know that people do that in real code.  It would be great to find 
real examples in real could that would benefit.
