 * Generic ArrayList class for managing lists of items and iterating operations
 * over them.  The targeted use for this class is for augmentation onto a
 * class that is responsible for managing multiple instances of another class
 * (e.g. NodeList for Nodes).  The recommended use is to augment your class with
 * ArrayList, then use ArrayList.addMethod to mirror the API of the constituent
 * items on the list's API.
 *
 * The default implementation creates immutable lists, but mutability can be
 * provided via the arraylist-add submodule or by implementing mutation methods
 * directly on the augmented class's prototype.
