FINALIZE and APPENDABLE together sounds like "an array that holds class
objects."
I think I get it as I write this: Do we mean that the array should
always hold class references and the class objects should live on other
blocks? If so, the memory block for the objects can be marked as
FINALIZE? What block should be APPENDABLE?
Of course, this may be all in the documentation but I can't understand
it. ;) Here is what is says for FINALIZE: "Finalize the data in this
block on collect." (I will study that part a little more. :p)
