/// let mut vec = Vec::new();
/// vec.push(1i);
/// vec.push(2i);
///
/// assert_eq!(vec.len(), 2);
/// assert_eq!(vec[0], 1);
///

/// assert_eq!(vec.len(), 1);
///
/// *vec.get_mut(0) = 7i;

///
/// for x in vec.iter() {
///     println!("{}", x);
/// }
/// assert_eq!(vec, vec![7i, 1, 2, 3]);
/// ```
///
/// The `vec!` macro is provided to make initialization more convenient:
///
/// ```
/// let mut vec = vec![1i, 2i, 3i];
/// vec.push(4);
/// assert_eq!(vec, vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);
/// ```
///

///
/// ```
/// let mut stack = Vec::new();
///
/// stack.push(1i);
/// stack.push(2i);
/// stack.push(3i);
///
/// loop {
///     let top = match stack.pop() {
///         None => break, // empty

/// # Capacity and reallocation
///
/// The capacity of a vector is the amount of space allocated for any future
/// elements that will be added onto the vector. This is not to be confused
/// with the *length* of a vector, which specifies the number of actual
/// elements within the vector. If a vector's length exceeds its capacity,
/// its capacity will automatically be increased, but its elements will
/// have to be reallocated.
///
/// For example, a vector with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty
/// vector with space for 10 more elements. Pushing 10 or fewer elements onto
/// the vector will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur.
/// However, if the vector's length is increased to 11, it will have to
/// reallocate, which can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended
/// to use `Vec::with_capacity` whenever possible to specify how big the vector
/// is expected to get.
