/**
 * A scalable concurrent {@link NavigableSet} implementation based on
 * a {@link ConcurrentSkipListMap}.  This class maintains a set in
 * ascending order, sorted according to the <i>natural order</i> for
 * the element's class (see {@link Comparable}), or by the comparator
 * provided at creation time, depending on which constructor is
 * used.<p>
 *
 * This implementation provides expected average <i>log(n)</i> time
 * cost for the <tt>contains</tt>, <tt>add</tt>, and <tt>remove</tt>
 * operations and their variants.  Insertion, removal, and access
 * operations safely execute concurrently by multiple
 * threads. Iterators are <i>weakly consistent</i>, returning elements
 * reflecting the state of the set at some point at or since the
 * creation of the iterator.  They do <em>not</em> throw {@link
 * ConcurrentModificationException}, and may procede concurrently with
 * other operations.
 *
 * <p>Beware that, unlike in most collections, the <tt>size</tt>
 * method is <em>not</em> a constant-time operation. Because of the
 * asynchronous nature of these sets, determining the current number
 * of elements requires a traversal of the elements. Additionally, the
 * bulk operations <tt>addAll</tt>, <tt>removeAll</tt>,
 * <<tt>retainAll</tt>, and tt>containsAll</tt> are <em>not</em>
 * guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator
 * operating concurrently with an <tt>addAll</tt> operation might view
 * only some of the added elements.
 *
 * <p>This class and its iterators implement all of the
 * <em>optional</em> methods of the {@link Set} and {@link Iterator}
 * interfaces. Like most other concurrent collection implementations,
 * this class does not permit the use of <tt>null</tt> elements.
 * because <tt>null</tt> arguments and return values cannot be reliably
 * distinguished from the absence of elements.
