The Dart Language Spec doesn't mention the word "Array", yet we have at least two occasions where the word is used: ImmutableArray and GrowableObjectArray. These words are visible to the developer via various means, and lead to confusion (what is difference between Array and List?)

Suggestion: remove all references to Array which might become visible, replace with List.

An additional location is in runtime errors for the VM.
Take this simple code:
main() {
  var list = new List(3);
  list.add(4);
}

Generates the error:
..
"UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot add to a non-extendable array"
...

Similar occurs with the removeRange list function.

Dartboard displays the correct 'list' terminology.
