/**
 * Dynamically growing an array using realloc() is error prone and boring.
 *
 * Define your array with:
 *
 * - a pointer (`item`) that points at the array, initialized to `NULL`
 *   (although please name the variable based on its contents, not on its
 *   type);
 *
 * - an integer variable (`alloc`) that keeps track of how big the current
 *   allocation is, initialized to `0`;
 *
 * - another integer variable (`nr`) to keep track of how many elements the
 *   array currently has, initialized to `0`.
 *
 * Then before adding `n`th element to the item, call `ALLOC_GROW(item, n,
 * alloc)`.  This ensures that the array can hold at least `n` elements by
 * calling `realloc(3)` and adjusting `alloc` variable.
 *
 * ------------
 * sometype *item;
 * size_t nr;
 * size_t alloc
 *
 * for (i = 0; i < nr; i++)
 * 	if (we like item[i] already)
 * 		return;
 *
 * // we did not like any existing one, so add one
 * ALLOC_GROW(item, nr + 1, alloc);
 * item[nr++] = value you like;
 * ------------
 *
 * You are responsible for updating the `nr` variable.
 *
 * If you need to specify the number of elements to allocate explicitly
 * then use the macro `REALLOC_ARRAY(item, alloc)` instead of `ALLOC_GROW`.
 *
 * Consider using ALLOC_GROW_BY instead of ALLOC_GROW as it has some
 * added niceties.
 *
 * DO NOT USE any expression with side-effect for 'x', 'nr', or 'alloc'.
