The sequence length is confusing on its own. That's why we are having this discussion. Also, it _has_ to be different in some cases if we want to support `nil`s in arrays. But of course you could in principle use the current sequence length algorithm to calculate the initial length (but I think that would be a poor choice and a lost opportunity).
