Hi,
interesting - do you have any numbers showing a benefit from doing this
(on various sets of input)?
My concerns are that count might typically be close enough to value.length
to make the difference small in practice, and that there are some (fragile)
JIT optimizations to try and avoid zeroing out the newly allocated array
that we have to take care not to break.
