What is inside Growing an Array While the Program Runs
- A fixed capacity is a guess
- Count and capacity live together in a struct
- push: grow when full, then store
- Zara times three growth rules
- Reading to the end of input
- A string builder grows the same way
- Shrink to fit, once, at the end
