void Loyc.Collections.INegAutoSizeArray< T >.Optimize

(

)

Optimizes the data structure to consume less memory or storage space.

A simple auto-sizing array can implement this method by examining the elements with the most positive and most negative indexes, and removing any that are equal to default(T).
