--  The language-defined generic package Containers.Vectors provides private
--  types Vector and Cursor, and a set of operations for each type. A vector
--  container allows insertion and deletion at any position, but it is
--  specifically optimized for insertion and deletion at the high end (the end
--  with the higher index) of the container. A vector container also provides
--  random access to its elements.
--
--  A vector container behaves conceptually as an array that expands as
--  necessary as items are inserted. The length of a vector is the number of
--  elements that the vector contains. The capacity of a vector is the maximum
--  number of elements that can be inserted into the vector prior to it being
--  automatically expanded.
--
--  Elements in a vector container can be referred to by an index value of a
--  generic formal type. The first element of a vector always has its index
--  value equal to the lower bound of the formal type.
--
--  A vector container may contain empty elements. Empty elements do not have a
--  specified value.

   --  defined to use it return an unspecified value. The exact arguments and
   --  number of calls of this generic formal function by the functions defined
   --  to use it are unspecified.
