/**
 * The <code>Vector</code> classes implements growable arrays of Objects.
 * You can access elements in a Vector with an index, just as you
 * can in a built in array, but Vectors can grow and shrink to accommodate
 * more or fewer objects.<p>
 *
 * Vectors try to mantain efficiency in growing by having a
 * <code>capacityIncrement</code> that can be specified at instantiation.
 * When a Vector can no longer hold a new Object, it grows by the amount
 * in <code>capacityIncrement</code>. If this value is 0, the vector doubles in
 * size.<p>
 *
 * Vector implements the JDK 1.2 List interface, and is therefore a fully
 * compliant Collection object. The iterators are fail-fast - if external
 * code structurally modifies the vector, any operation on the iterator will
 * then throw a {@link ConcurrentModificationException}. The Vector class is
 * fully synchronized, but the iterators are not. So, when iterating over a
 * vector, be sure to synchronize on the vector itself.  If you don't want the
 * expense of synchronization, use ArrayList instead. On the other hand, the
 * Enumeration of elements() is not thread-safe, nor is it fail-fast; so it
 * can lead to undefined behavior even in a single thread if you modify the
 * vector during iteration.<p>
 *
 * Note: Some methods, especially those specified by List, specify throwing
 * {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException}, but it is easier to implement by
 * throwing the subclass {@link ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException}. Others
 * directly specify this subclass.
