Sebb commented on IMAGING-117:
------------------------------
Apart from read-only collections, arrays can be made read-only by providing a
getter for the individual entries.
Alternatively, the array holder can provide an interface to process entries.
In any case, mutable fields should never be exposed.
Code should always use a getter/setter as that allows synchronisation to be
easily added.
Even if the getter/setter does not copy the array it provides better
encapsulation, and allows for changes of implementation without affecting
callers.
