While looking at tbsaunde's patch to remove the nsISupportsArray version
of NS_NewArrayEnumerator I noticed that many users of
NS_NewArrayEnumerator copy entries from a hash into a temporary array
which they then enumerate, which works by creating an instance of an
enumerator class that recopies the entries from the temporary array.
Would it make sense to create an array enumerator class that was
preallocated to a given capacity and then filled directly? The API would
look like this (error checking omitted for clarity):
nsCOMEnumerator* result = NS_NewCOMEnumerator(mHash.entryCount);
HashTableEnumerate(mHash, AppendElementToEnumerator, result);
aResult = result;
