This library proved useful in nbdkit where we need to construct an
array or vector of arbitrary objects, with the easy ability to append
at the end. Wherever code uses realloc(3) to build an array of
objects is a candidate for replacement by this library.

+ * extensible vector of ‘type’ elements. For example:
+ *
+ * DEFINE_VECTOR_TYPE(string_vector, char *)
+ *
+ * defines a new type called ‘string_vector’ as a vector of ‘char *’.
+ * You can create variables of this type:
+ *
+ * string_vector names = empty_vector;
+ *
+ * where ‘names.ptr[]’ will be an array of strings and ‘names.size’
+ * will be the number of strings. There are no get/set accessors. To

+ *
+ * for (size_t i = 0; i < names.size; ++i)
+ * printf ("%s\n", names.ptr[i]);
+ *
+ * Initializing with ‘empty_vector’ sets ‘.ptr = NULL’ and ‘.size = 0’.
+ *
+ * DEFINE_VECTOR_TYPE also defines utility functions. For the full
+ * list see the definition below, but useful functions include:
+ *
+ * ‘name’_append (eg. ‘string_vector_append’)
+ * - Append a new element at the end. This operation is cheap.
+ *
+ * ‘name’_insert (eg. ‘string_vector_insert’)
+ * - Insert a new element at the beginning, middle or end. This
+ * operation is more expensive because existing elements may need
+ * to be copied around.
+ *
+ * Both functions extend the vector if required, and so both may fail
+ * (returning -1) which you must check for.
