Or, you can compromise.  I often do this.  Grow the sequence by concatenating
in chunks (of 100, 1000, or whatever makes sense for your purposes, or based on
some trial and error to figure out an optimal size).  Use an index variable,
and another that tracks the length of the sequence, and whenever index=max, add
another chunk.  It's a really nice way to get the benefits of preallocation
without wasting too much memory.
