 As a simple comparison, suppose you need a list of all integers between 1000 and 2000. You could write a loop to fill 1000 elements of an ArrayList. Alternatively, you can create an ImmutableList instance where get(n) creates and returns the expected element on request.
 
-This mechanism is especially useful when large lists are used, or when you already know that the user of the list will only pick a few items from the list, or even just wants to know the size of the list. 
+This mechanism is especially useful when large lists are used, or when you already know that the user of the list will only pick a few items from the list, or even just wants to know the size of the list. Therefore ImmutableList uses BigInteger for indexing.

+|| AbstractImmutableList || abstract superclass with default iterator() implementation, toString and get(long) ||
