.loc for appending/assigning multiple values

[aldanor]

According to the latest v0.13 docs .loc can append, but can it (or rather, should it?) append more than one value at once?

Setting multiple via .loc:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['x', 'y'])
>>> df.loc[:, 'x'] = [1, 2]
>>> df
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [x, y]
Index: []
>>> df.loc[[0, 1], 'x'] = [1, 2]
>>> df
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [x, y]
Index: []
>>> df.loc[0:2, 'x'] = [1, 2]
>>> df
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [x, y]
Index: []

Setting single via .loc: (works as intended)

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['x', 'y'])
>>> df.loc[0, 'x'] = 1
>>> df
   x    y
0  1  NaN

These all work now as expected. Looks like some tests could be added to confirm this behavior.
