|

|
|
|
* An indexed collection of elements. Provides basic functionality for

|
|
|
* retrieving elements at a specific position, searching for
|
|
|

|
|
|
*
|

* Neither interface makes any attempt to protect the individual
|
|
|
|
* elements from modification. The convention is that the elements of
|
|
|
|
* the array should not be modified. Documentation within a specific
|
|
|
|
* interface should describe variations from this convention.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It is also convention that if an interface provides access to an
|
|
|
|
* nsIArray, that the array should not be QueryInterfaced to an
|
|
|
|
* nsIMutableArray for modification. If the interface in question had
|
|
|
|
* intended the array to be modified, it would have returned an
|
|
|
|
* nsIMutableArray!
