Review Comment:
   Changing the access scope is to fix the issue you described:
   
   >  This is problematic because the the constructor created the BoundedList 
using a reference to underlying, not a copy of it; therefore, a user could add 
elements to underlying instead of their newly instantiated BoundedList and 
force the BoundedList to be larger than its maxLength`.
   
   We should avoid it from using in code and so the `private` is good practice. 
All callers should use `newArrayBacked` to create `BoundedList`
