Namespace:
T[] buffer = new T[N]; assumes more space than stated (in

reserve and that is IMO wrong. If I reserve memory with
buffer.reserve(N), I want to have at least N elements. That
behaviour is correct. But if I use new T[N] I mostly want
exactly N elements and no extra space.
Thoughts?
In Python if you append items to an array, it sovra-allocates,
Never heard of 'sovra'. What does it mean?
but if you create an array with the [x] * n syntax, then it
creates a list (array) exactly of size n.

So you agree with me.
