public class GrowthList<E> extends AbstractSerializableListDecorator<E>
List to make it seamlessly grow when
indices larger than the list size are used on add and set,
avoiding most IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions.
This class avoids errors by growing when a set or add method would normally throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Note that IndexOutOfBoundsException IS returned for invalid negative indices.
Trying to set or add to an index larger than the size will cause the list
to grow (using null elements). Clearly, care must be taken
not to use excessively large indices, as the internal list will grow to
match.
Trying to use any method other than add or set with an invalid index will call the underlying list and probably result in an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Take care when using this list with null values, as
null is the value added when growing the list.
All sub-lists will access the underlying list directly, and will throw IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions.
This class differs from LazyList because here growth occurs on
set and add, where LazyList grows on get. However, they
can be used together by decorating twice.

If the requested index is greater than the current size, the list will
grow to the new size. Indices between the old size and the requested
size will be filled with null.
If the index is less than the current size, the value will be added to the underlying list directly. If the index is less than zero, the underlying list is called, which will probably throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
