35 // PURPOSE: Provides a simple but useful structure, which is an array
36 // in which elements can be added at the end. The array is expanded
37 // as needed by multiplying its size by a constant factor (usually 2).
38 // This gives amortised O(1) insertion cost, and, following sorting,
39 // the usual O(log N) binary search cost. Arbitrary element sizes
40 // are allowed; the comparison function for sort/lookup can be changed
41 // at any time, and duplicates (modulo the comparison function) are
42 // allowed.
