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 a default value.
    Queries for non-existing elements are anwered with the default value.
