Review Comment:
   I thought about this some more and I applied your suggestion in the latest 
commit. I still think there's a case where checking first will be inconvenient, 
e.g. if we don't have information about `maxLength` where we initialize the 
array and we end up initializing to a capacity larger than `maxLength`. But 
this is hypothetical, maybe we don't have any cases like that in the code base. 
At this time, I agree the proposal you two made is better.
