@deftypefn Constructor {} Array<T> (void)
Create an array with no elements.
@end deftypefn

@deftypefn Constructor {} Array<T> (int @var{n} [, const T &@var{val}])
Create an array with @var{n} elements.  If the optional argument
@var{val} is supplied, the elements are initialized to @var{val};
otherwise, they are left uninitialized.  If @var{n} is less than zero,
the current error handler is invoked (@pxref{Error Handling}).
@end deftypefn

@deftypefn Constructor {} Array<T> (const Array<T> &@var{a})
Create a copy of the @var{Array<T>} object @var{a}.  Memory for the
@var{Array<T>} class is managed using a reference counting scheme, so
the cost of this operation is independent of the size of the array.
@end deftypefn

@deftypeop Assignment Array<T> Array<T>& {operator =} (const Array<T> &@var{a})
Assignment operator.  Memory for the @var{Array<T>} class is managed
using a reference counting scheme, so the cost of this operation is
independent of the size of the array.
@end deftypeop

@deftypemethod Array<T> int capacity (void) const
@deftypemethodx Array<T> int length (void) const
Return the length of the array.
@end deftypemethod

@deftypemethod Array<T> T& elem (int @var{n})
@deftypemethodx Array<T> T& checkelem (int @var{n})
If @var{n} is within the bounds of the array, return a reference to the
element indexed by @var{n}; otherwise, the current error handler is
invoked (@pxref{Error Handling}).
@end deftypemethod

@deftypeop Indexing Array<T> T& {operator ()} (int @var{n})
@end deftypeop

@deftypemethod Array<T> T elem (int @var{n}) const
@deftypemethodx Array<T> T checkelem (int @var{n}) const
If @var{n} is within the bounds of the array, return the value indexed
by @var{n}; otherwise, call the current error handler.

@end deftypemethod

@deftypeop Indexing Array<T> T {operator ()} (int @var{n}) const
@end deftypeop

@deftypemethod Array<T> T& xelem (int @var{n})
@deftypemethodx Array<T> T xelem (int @var{n}) const
Return a reference to, or the value of, the element indexed by @var{n}.
These methods never perform bounds checking.
@end deftypemethod

@deftypemethod Array<T> void resize {(int @var{n} [, const T &@var{val}])}
Change the size of the array to be @var{n} elements.  All elements are
unchanged, except that if @var{n} is greater than the current size and
the optional argument @var{val} is provided, the additional elements are
initialized to @var{val}; otherwise, any additional elements are left
uninitialized.  In the current implementation, if @var{n} is less than
the current size, the length is updated but no memory is released.
