-------------------------------------

Should method contracts be changed to use Lists or Collections?

> Further to BCEL-237, if a getter returns a reference to a private final array, then the array contents can be corrupted. 
> Similarly if a setter stores an array reference without cloning it, then any holders of the original reference can subsequently change the array entries.
