   Nope.   
      
   If we knew the maximum size in advance (=at development time), the   
   problem would be trivial.  In many cases, normal C arrays would be   
   fine.   
      
   What we're trying to get away from is having to guess at a reasonable   
   (less then 2Gb :-) ) upper bound on the size and hoping we don't ever   
   have to   
   deal with data longer than that.  And from the performance hit of   
   heap storage for function-local data.
