# An `Array` is an ordered, integer-indexed collection of objects of type T.
#
# Array indexing starts at 0. A negative index is assumed to be
# relative to the end of the array: -1 indicates the last element,
# -2 is the next to last element, and so on.
#
# An `Array` can be created using the usual `new` method (several are provided), or with an array literal:
#
# ```
# Array(Int32).new  # => []
# [1, 2, 3]         # Array(Int32)
# [1, "hello", 'x'] # Array(Int32 | String | Char)
# ```
#
# An `Array` can have mixed types, meaning T will be a union of types, but these are determined
# when the array is created, either by specifying T or by using an array literal. In the latter
# case, T will be set to the union of the array literal elements' types.
#
# When creating an empty array you must always specify T:
#
# ```
# [] of Int32 # same as Array(Int32)
# []          # syntax error
# ```
#
# An `Array` is implemented using an internal buffer of some capacity
# and is reallocated when elements are pushed to it when more capacity
# is needed. This is normally known as a [dynamic array](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_array).
#
# You can use a special array literal syntax with other types too, as long as they define an argless
# `new` method and a `<<` method. `Set` is one such type:
#
# ```
# set = Set{1, 2, 3} # => Set{1, 2, 3}
# set.class          # => Set(Int32)
# ```
#
# The above is the same as this:
#
# ```
# set = Set(typeof(1, 2, 3)).new
# set << 1
# set << 2
# set << 3
# ```
