allocation is at least a certain size, or create a new one if the pointer
size) whereas vec_validate can glean
that from the type of the vector (possibly NULL) you pass in.

would seem that vec_new() is pretty much providing the same results as
vec_validate(), albeit, with one less memset(bob, o, sizeof(*bob)) being
performed. However, I see a 10:1 usage (preference?) of vec_valida
