The Javadoc already says "If the current capacity is less than the
argument, then a new internal array is allocated with greater capacity",
which seems to be what you are saying.

Anyway, CCC request is in flight, and changes there will require
re-spinning. I am not tempted to do that if the current language is good
and already fits your concerns.
