This class contains various methods for manipulating arrays (such as
sorting and searching). This class also contains a static factory
that allows arrays to be viewed as lists.
The methods in this class all throw a NullPointerException if
the specified array reference is null, except where noted.
The documentation for the methods contained in this class includes
briefs description of the implementations. Such descriptions should
be regarded as implementation notes, rather than parts of the
specification. Implementors should feel free to substitute other
algorithms, so long as the specification itself is adhered to. (For
example, the algorithm used by sort(Object[]) does not have to be
a mergesort, but it does have to be stable.)
