Usually there is good reason to not do this: if a long lived collection 
reaches a particular size at some point in time chances are that it will 
do so in the future again.  Shrinking will cause allocation overhead and 
- at a later point - another allocation for the larger size which has 
higher risk of causing slow GC because of memory fragmentation.  Also, 
if the long lived collection resizes internally at least for some GC 
cycles there is a reference from old gen to new gen.

For short lived objects additional allocations to save memory are even 
worse.  There it's usually best to just grow.

For the long lived case you can still manually shrink by creating a new 
collection if the nature of your application is such that there 
temporarily the collection grows huge and afterwards shrinks again.

Kind regards
