24  /**
25   * Decorates another {@code List} to make it seamlessly grow when
26   * indices larger than the list size are used on add and set,
27   * avoiding most IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions.
28   * <p>
29   * This class avoids errors by growing when a set or add method would
30   * normally throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
31   * Note that IndexOutOfBoundsException IS returned for invalid negative indices.
32   * </p>
33   * <p>
34   * Trying to set or add to an index larger than the size will cause the list
35   * to grow (using {@code null} elements). Clearly, care must be taken
36   * not to use excessively large indices, as the internal list will grow to
37   * match.
38   * </p>
39   * <p>
40   * Trying to use any method other than add or set with an invalid index will
41   * call the underlying list and probably result in an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
42   * </p>
43   * <p>
44   * Take care when using this list with {@code null} values, as
45   * {@code null} is the value added when growing the list.
46   * </p>
47   * <p>
48   * All sub-lists will access the underlying list directly, and will throw
49   * IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions.
50   * </p>
51   * <p>
52   * This class differs from {@link LazyList} because here growth occurs on
53   * set and add, where {@code LazyList} grows on get. However, they
54   * can be used together by decorating twice.
