Hello,

the sequence size is not "known in advance", although it can be
computed to instantiate the tuple before populating it;

here [I think that] the list size is limited by the number of program
spaces, which is usually the number of inferiors, so this conversion
can't really be that expensive

I'll wait for Tom's point of view before updating the code.

(I'll also add the missing space in the doc in the next patch

)

thanks for your advises,
