Many of these names (including shrinkToFit) suggest that memory usage is 
reduced by freeing the left over memory after the array. This is not 
true: the function just enables stomping of the memory past the slice 
passed to the function.

It's a very specialized and dangerous function (but still may be 
critical for good performance), and maybe it should rather have a more 
convoluted/long name than a simple one.
