[Python-ideas] Specify number of items to allocate for array.array() constructor

I suggest array.array(typecode, [0]) * N

would be cool if it was a param to the constructor though (generated a 0'd array 
I suppose), as python's which have GC's that allocate pre-zero'd memory could 
optimize it nicely ;)
