It always annoys me having to specify element count for things that aren't
arrays.
I suggestion a single object allocation function, and an array allocation
function that allows zero length arrays. Possibly also a must-not-be-zero
array form if we think it's important.
Sure.
Note that conversion to object/type based allocation is not always
straightforward because inheritance means we don't have the final object type
when doing the allocation.
That's if you have the base object do the allocation, yup.
