A common mistake seems to be passing an empty array to .receive, in the assumption that it will be resized. It would be better to assert on the array length before passing it to the C socket function.

It's probably too late to change this now. WONTFIX?

Also, it would probably have to be an enforce, not an assert.

By the way, the function already special-cased 0-length arrays, by always returning 0 instead of passing it to the C socket function.
