\item The machinery for growing and shrinking lists was optimized
for speed and for space efficiency. Small lists (under six bytes)
never over-allocate by more than one byte. Large lists do not
for speed and for space efficiency. Small lists (under six elements)
never over-allocate by more than one element. Large lists do not
over-allocate by more than 1/8th. Appending and popping from lists
now runs faster due to more efficient code paths and less frequent
use of the underlying system realloc(). List comprehensions also
