Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a
* capacity and a capacityIncrement. The
* capacity 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
* capacityIncrement. An application can increase the
