+<p>The <i>capacity</i> of an array is the number of elements which the array
+can hold or represent within the space currently allocated to its array buffer.</p>
+<p>For a flat array buffer, the increase in capacity of a buffer, when the
+insertion of an additional element causes the buffer to be re-allocated, is
+termed the <i>granularity</i> of the array. For example, adding a fifth element
+to a fixed flat array constructed with a granularity of four, causes the array
+buffer to be re-allocated so that its capacity increases from four to eight
+elements.</p>

+</fig>
+<p>For a segmented array buffer, the granularity defines the capacity of a
+single segment. A segmented array buffer is always expanded by allocating
+additional segments.</p>
+<p>The granularity of an array is defined at construction time.
+The choice of value depends on the use to be made of the array and needs careful
+consideration. Too small a value for an array with a high turnover of elements
+can incur considerable overhead from the process of allocating memory. Too
+large a value can result in wasted space if insufficient new elements are
+subsequently added.</p>
