If my answer would be taken, we would have:

- Copy old -> new non-covered data when allocating new memory
- Adding a 'allowShrink' to the setter

???

Could name it 'boolean subset', i.e. if true, the set*(..) is meant to only set a subset of the 'array',
hence no shrink will occur. Otherwise, if false, the call is meant to set the whole 'array' and may shrink it.

So if 'subset == true', the 'array' should also not grow - this in contrast to a flag named 'allowShrink'.

Which variant tasted better?
I like to avoid generating another function like setSub*(..) of course.
