Duy,

The example in Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt does
it the same way as Dmitry:

    ALLOC_GROW(item, nr + 1, alloc);
    item[nr++] = value you like;

The alternative,

    nr++;
    ALLOC_GROW(item, nr, alloc);
    item[nr] = value you like;

is an extra line, which is at least a small argument for the variant
shown in the docs.  (Since ALLOC_GROW is a macro, it is not OK to use
"++nr" as its second argument.)  Personally, I also prefer the shorter
version.  The line

    item[nr++] = value

is an easy-to-recognize idiom, and

    ALLOC_GROW(item, nr + 1, alloc);

somehow makes it more transparent by how much more space will be needed.

So my vote is that the patches are OK the way Dmitry wrote them (mind, I
have only read through 05/11 so far).
