Internals should prefer generic array methods over prototype_extensions

[stefanpenner]

• addArrayObserver
• removeArrayObserver
• objectAt
• replace
• remoteAt
• insertAt
• pushObject
• pushObjects
• re-org public api
• etc ...
• docs
• all the tests

The goal here is merely to decouple the internals from the the observable based prototype extensions.
This will hopefully give us the flexibility to make a future call re: prototype extensions in general. This also eases the pain of using ember with prototype extensions disabled.

All this is accomplished without breaking semver in anyway.

More todo:

• Merge Enumerable + NativeArray
• Merge MutableEnumerable + MutableArray
• Deprecate Enumerable as [bugfix release]
• Deprecate MutableEnumerable as [bugfix release]

what sends the event here?

[stefanpenner]

ah good catch. this needs to use the replace helper

Taking a look at this

[krisselden]

So, this doesn't quite address the issue of Ember.A() and MutableArray replace

The standalone method of Ember.replace() should fire the event on a plain array like Ember.set() would do on an object.

Just catching up to speed on this one. Looking good so far!

@stefanpenner - Is this still on your radar? Is there any way to chunk this up (to avoid forever horrible rebase land of large PR's)? I'm mostly wondering if we can land what you have here and open a meta issue to continue...

[stefanpenner]

Is this still on your radar?

yup

Is there any way to chunk this up (to avoid forever horrible rebase land of large PR's)?

its kinda tricky, but possible. But i'll deal with the rebases and cleanup as when i start on this again.

Lets leave this open so i don't forget.

Sounds good, just was doing a bit of PR triage/cleanup over the weekend..

@stefanpenner is this PR inactive? Is the a path forward to continue this effort aside from this branch?

[Serabe]

@stefanpenner is this still active? Has it been superseded somehow?

[stefanpenner]

@Serabe it hasn't been superseded, and would love a champion

[Serabe]

@stefanpenner I might have time, so we can chat about it.

Closing this in favor of using an Epic #15501

Thank you!
