It does the following:

1. Grow to the needed size.

2. Call the other collection's toArray method.

3. System.arraycopy the toArray result into the ArrayList's elementData.

This double copy is going to be faster than the one at a time approach
only if large numbers of nulls are being added. If that is the case, the
structure is probably too sparse for ArrayList to be a good choice.
