proposal for class ARRAY

Change header comments of put and force

Proposal

Proposal for class ARRAY:

Change the header comment of put to:

   -- Make 'v' the item at index `i'.
...and change the header comment of force to:
   -- Make `v' the item at index `i', enlarging the
   -- array if necessary.
Please select one of the following:

Rationale

The existing header comment of 'put' refers to the "`i'-th entry" when it should refer to the "entry at index `i'".
There is also a change to the wording to avoid restating the precondition in the header comment for put.

Result

The proposal was accepted.
