Owen saw me write that in the docs and didn't complain too much, so
it's likely a patch for that would be accepted. Sounds like a
plan.:-)

As for how to implement it internally, since backward compat for
set_policy() should be maintained, and user_resizeable() is a subset
of set_policy(), I would say user_resizeable should just be:
  if (resizeable)   
    set_policy(blah blah can't remember the order)
  else
    set_policy(blah blah)

Also user resizeable should probably be a READWRITE object argument.

Just some thoughts,
