I don't have strong feelings either way.  I think the
reason I started off with `explicit setLength' was to handle
cases where there is a section of unknown sequence at the end
of the assembly.  But I guess there's no problem doing 
grow-as-needed as well, so long as setLength() is available
to those who need it.
