Packed lists are a niche, which necessity isn't well argued by 
this DIP, so I suggest we postpone assessment of packed lists 
until their utility is proven. (Personally I suspect their 
utility will prove plenty worthy of Phobos)

Auto-expanding lists cover the vast majority of use cases, so we 
shouldn't conflate them with packed lists because this comes at 
various costs.
