+Summary: Optimize empty array allocation
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+using System;
+
+public class C
+{
+	public static void Main ()
+	{
+		string[] s;
+		for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)
+			s = new string[0];
+	}
+}
+
+This program allocates 15625 KB of System.String[] data.
+However, it seems to me that 1 instance should
+be enough in case of 0-sized array.
+
+Please consider this as a suggestion as I don't have
+enough knowledge about runtime to say whether it
+is possible or not.
