I added this to be able to avoid allocations if the entry is allocating, In case of
gitoxide
this saves a couple of millions of allocations in favour of a few thousand re-allocs.Performance wasn't measurably better in my case, just as if the allocator can already repurpose previously freed slabs of memory pretty well or at only a very low cost.
Since it doesn't seem to hurt providing this capability, I am creating this PR anyway in the hopes it does indeed make sense to some in this form or another.
Please let me know :).
