// RepeatedField and RepeatedPtrField are used by generated protocol message
// classes to manipulate repeated fields.  These classes are very similar to
// STL's vector, but include a number of optimizations found to be useful
// specifically in the case of Protocol Buffers.  RepeatedPtrField is
// particularly different from STL vector as it manages ownership of the
// pointers that it contains.
//
// Typically, clients should not need to access RepeatedField objects directly,
// but should instead use the accessor functions generated automatically by the
// protocol compiler.
