> BlockList - An efficient array based list that can extend its capacity with
> two main features:
> 1. Gaps (result of remove operations) are managed internally without the need
> for extra memory - We create a linked list of gaps by using the array index
> as references + An int to the head of the gaps list. In every insert
> operation, we first use any available gap before extending the array.
> 2. Array extension is done by chaining different arrays, not by allocating a
> larger array and copying all its data across. This is a lot less heavy in
> terms of latency for that particular call. It also avoids having large amount
> of contiguous heap space and so behaves nicer with garbage collection.
