Looking at the history of the code, I think it's always been an ISE
with an IAE listed in the javadoc. Additionally array lengths have
thrown an IAE and declared a IndexOutOfBoundsException. Lovely :)

For now my intention is to fix the javadoc and improve the exception
method and discuss other changes later.
