/* Implementation of a simple dynamically sized array for storing pointers.
 *
 * When the array is created, a free callback can be provided, which will be
 * then used when removing items from the array and when freeing the array. If
 * the free callback is not provided, the memory management of the stored items
 * is the responsibility of the array user. If there is need to remove items
 * from the array without freeing them, while also having the free callback
 * set, the functions with "steal" in their name can be used.
 *
 * Removing items from the middle of the array causes the last item to be
 * moved to the place of the removed item. That is, array ordering is not
 * preserved.
 *
 * The array doesn't support storing NULL pointers. */
