The methods are small, and since they are implementing doubling-the-array scheme, we often exit early without actually growing. Outlining the actual growing part from the capacity check would allow inlining the common case.

Not related to your changes. But I am confused about `grow()` code which set new `_size` value.  It is set to the same value as `_data_size` but it is described as "Used 32-bit words" vs "Allocated words" for `_data_size`.
I think it should be set to `new_word_capacity`.
