/**
 * This class extends ArrayList to add a finalize() that
 * calls delete on the files .
 * This helps in getting rid of the finalize() in the classes such 
 * as DefaultAbstractBag, and they can be freed up without waiting 
 * for finalize to be called. Only if those classes have spilled to
 * disk, there will be a (this) class that needs to be finalized.
 * 
 * CAUTION: if you assign a new value for a variable of this type,
 * the files (if any) in the old object it pointed to will be scheduled for
 * deletion. To avoid that call .clear() before assigning a new value.
