206 // 1) it must be given a COMPARE function in ctor which takes 2 items of type
207 // T* and should return -1, 0 or +1 if the first one is less/greater

212 // 4) Index() method is much faster (the sorted arrays use binary search

347 1) function(T*) gives the object to the array, i.e. it will delete the

350 2) function(T&) will create a copy of the object and work with it

353 Also:
354 <BR>
355 1) Remove() will delete the object after removing it from the array

357 2) Detach() just removes the object from the array (returning pointer to it)

359 <BR>
360 NB1: Base type T should have an accessible copy ctor if Add(T&) is used,
