probably use spare_capacity_mut() here to avoid `destructure` and
`rebuild`?
	
	https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.spare_capacity_mut

	// .. after reserve succeed.
	// there must be room for adding one more.
	self.spare_capacity_mut()[0].write(v);
	// or unsafe { self.spare_capacity_mut().as_mut_ptr().cast().write(v); }

	unsafe {
		self.set_len(self.len() + 1);
	}

Thoughts?
