    Adds {@link Ext.Component Component}(s) to this Container.

    ##Description:##

    - Fires the {@link #beforeadd} event before adding.
    - The Container's {@link #defaults default config values} will be applied
      accordingly (see `{@link #defaults}` for details).
    - Fires the `{@link #add}` event after the component has been added.

    ##Notes:##

    If the Container is __already rendered__ when `add`
    is called, it will render the newly added Component into its content area.

    __**If**__ the Container was configured with a size-managing {@link #layout} manager, the Container
    will recalculate its internal layout at this time too.

    Note that the default layout manager simply renders child Components sequentially into the content area and thereafter performs no sizing.

    If adding multiple new child Components, pass them as an array to the `add` method, so that only one layout recalculation is performed.

        tb = new {@link Ext.toolbar.Toolbar}({
            renderTo: document.body
        });  // toolbar is rendered
        tb.add([{text:'Button 1'}, {text:'Button 2'}]); // add multiple items. ({@link #defaultType} for {@link Ext.toolbar.Toolbar Toolbar} is 'button')

    ##Warning:##

    Components directly managed by the BorderLayout layout manager
    may not be removed or added.  See the Notes for {@link Ext.layout.container.Border BorderLayout}
    for more details.
