hello, I'm new here.

looking at the docs, this sequence should be faster and cost
less memory:

  data = f()
  data = data[2]
  data = append(data,"something")

i'm guessing that there is actually no copying going on here at all.
(as far as gc, the docs don't refer to a traditional gc.
memory is reclaimed continuously rather than in a gc phase)

with all interpreters, the best you can do is time stuff.
