+    SignedWordArrays store integers in the range -16r8000..16r7FFF.
+    They are much like WordArrays, but the values stored are signed.
+    In contrast to normal arrays (which store pointers to their elements),
+    signedWordArrays store the values in a dense & compact way. 
+    Therefore, SIgnedordArrays can be used to hold bulk data in a more compact way.
+        For example:
+            Array new:100000 withAll:1
+        requires 400k of object memory;
+
+        in contrast,
+            SignedordArray new:100000 withAll:1
+        only requires half of it.
