Example

var createArray = require('create-array-fix-x');

createArray(); // []
createArray(5); // [, , , , , ]
createArray(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

// adressed bug
var testArray = createArrayFix(0, 2147483648); // Note: the second number is greater than a signed 32bit int
testArray.shift(); // remove the first element so arr is [2147483648]
testArray[1] = 1; // Safari fails to add the new element and the array is unchanged
testArray; // [2147483648, 1]

create-array-fix-x's Issues

Expose class in better manner, rather than createArray

One difficulty is that the class constructor requires new whereas Array works with or without.
