 * The <code>Vector</code> class implements a growable array of 
 * objects. Like an array, it contains components that can be 
 * accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a 
 * <code>Vector</code> can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate 
 * adding and removing items after the <code>Vector</code> has been created.
 * <p>
 * Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a 
 * <code>capacity</code> and a <code>capacityIncrement</code>. The 
 * <code>capacity</code> is always at least as large as the vector 
 * size; it is usually larger because as components are added to the 
 * vector, the vector's storage increases in chunks the size of 
 * <code>capacityIncrement</code>. An application can increase the 
 * capacity of a vector before inserting a large number of 
 * components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation.
