Me too :).

But I stopped thinking when I realized I haven't thought about the
consequences for consistency.

How about Arrays? Should they be automatically resized (enlarged) when one
says:

  a = Array.new(2, 42, CREATENEWBYDEFAULT) 
       #=> a = [42, 42]
  puts a[4]            
       #=> a = [42,42,42,42,42]

After this I didn't dare to continue farther. Maybe there are no cases after
this, dunno.
