Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

This idea surfaced once before and Guido shot it down.  IIRC the rationale was 
the exposed implementation details, that would challenging for users to 
consistently set the size correctly, and that it may not make sense for other 
implementations.

This was a good while ago so it may be worth scanning the tracker or python-dev 
archives to find where he opined.
