I checked the Python implementation, and, iirc, they also use a vector, 
and preallocate memory every time it has to be resized, so that 
operations such as append() or extend() are not too expensive. I thought 
of moving to a "real" list implementation, but that would probably not 
be a good idea in the end, since Python lists also work as arrays (ie 
l[index] must be fast).
