The way the resize method is written, you can't mistakenly throw in 
another argument.  You would have to provide a "refcheck" keyword 
argument.  I can't see that being a mistake.

The resize method can be called with either a sequence or with several 
shapes, i.e.

a.resize((3,2))
a.resize(3,2)

Both of these are equivalent.  To get the refcheck functionality you 
would have to explicitly provide a keyword argument.

a.resize((3,2),refcheck=0)
a.resize(3,2,refcheck=0)
