documentation

    I am an ordered collection which automatically resizes if elements

    are added beyond the size. 

    I.e. if #at:put: is sent for indexes > the current size, the receiver grows to

    the required index and missing fields are implicitly filled with nils.

    Queries for non-existing elements are anwered with nil.

    [see also:]
