>
> The method ArrayUtils.removeAll(Object array, int... indices) currently sorts 
> the input indices array. Therefore the array needs to be cloned; this is 
> currently done by the callers.
> However the sort is an implementation detail of the method, so should be done 
> by the method itself, not by the callers, which is fragile (easy to overlook 
> when creating a new method) and unnecessary.
> This would also allow the method to be more easily changed to a different 
> implementation that does not need to sort the array (e.g. using BitSet)
