/**
 * Operations on arrays, primitive arrays (like <code>int[]</code>) and
 * primitive wrapper arrays (like <code>Integer[]</code>).
 * 
 * This class tries to handle <code>null</code> input gracefully.
 * An exception will not be thrown for a <code>null</code>
 * array input. However, an Object array that contains a <code>null</code>
 * element may throw an exception. Each method documents its behaviour.
