Abstract implementation of a list.

ListBase can be used as a base class for implementing the List interface.

All operations are defined in terms of length, operator[], operator[]= and length=, which need to be implemented.

NOTICE: Forwarding just these four operations to a normal growable List (as created by new List()) will give very bad performance for add and addAll operations of ListBase. These operations are implemented by increasing the length of the list by one for each add operation, and repeatedly increasing the length of a growable list is not efficient. To avoid this, either override 'add' and 'addAll' to also forward directly to the growable list, or, preferably, use DelegatingList from "package:collection/wrappers.dart" instead.
