Presumably assignment still takes place when I append an object to the
end of the list though?
The problem here is not to minimize the number of copies but to
prevent them entirely.

I will file a bug report with the Trolls because I think would be very
easy for someone to write code which unintentionally triggered a copy
- and there is no static code checking which can pick up performance
issues like this.  In that case, the expensive parsing process should
be avoided.
