NSArray can coexist.

/* The <IndexedCollecting> protocol inherits from the
<KeyedCollecting> protocol.
The <IndexedCollecting> protocol defines the interface to a
collection of elements that are accessible by a key that is an index,
where the indeces in a collection are a contiguous series of unsigned
integers beginning at 0. This is the root of the protocol heirarchy
for all collections that hold their elements in some order. Elements
may be accessed, inserted, replaced and removed by their index.

/* xxx Fix this comment: */
/* Most methods in the KeyedCollecting protocol that mention a key are
duplicated in the IndexedCollecting protocol, with their names
modified to reflect that the "key" now must be an unsigned integer,
(an "index"). The programmer should be able to use either of the
corresponding method names to the same effect.
The new methods are provided in the IndexedCollecting protocol for:
1) Better type checking for when an unsigned int is required.
2) More intuitive method names.
