/**
 * This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on or return
 * collections.  It contains polymorphic algorithms that operate on
 * collections, "wrappers", which return a new collection backed by a
 * specified collection, and a few other odds and ends.
 *
 * <p>The methods of this class all throw a <tt>NullPointerException</tt>
 * if the collections or class objects provided to them are null.
 *
 * <p>The documentation for the polymorphic algorithms contained in this class
 * generally includes a brief description of the <i>implementation</i>.  Such
 * descriptions should be regarded as <i>implementation notes</i>, rather than
 * parts of the <i>specification</i>.  Implementors should feel free to
 * substitute other algorithms, so long as the specification itself is adhered
 * to.  (For example, the algorithm used by <tt>sort</tt> does not have to be
 * a mergesort, but it does have to be <i>stable</i>.)
 *
 * <p>The "destructive" algorithms contained in this class, that is, the
 * algorithms that modify the collection on which they operate, are specified
 * to throw <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt> if the collection does not
 * support the appropriate mutation primitive(s), such as the <tt>set</tt>
 * method.  These algorithms may, but are not required to, throw this
 * exception if an invocation would have no effect on the collection.  For
 * example, invoking the <tt>sort</tt> method on an unmodifiable list that is
 * already sorted may or may not throw <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt>.

     * <pre>
     *     Collections.rotate(l.subList(1, 4), -1);

     * The resulting list is <tt>[a, c, d, b, e]</tt>.

     * <p>If the specified list is small or implements the {@link

     * element into the location it should go, and then repeatedly exchanges
     * the displaced element into the location it should go until a displaced

     * Returns a dynamically typesafe view of the specified collection.  Any
     * attempt to insert an element of the wrong type will result in an
     * immediate <tt>ClassCastException</tt>.  Assuming a collection contains
     * no incorrectly typed elements prior to the time a dynamically typesafe
     * view is generated, and that all subsequent access to the collection
     * takes place through the view, it is <i>guaranteed</i> that the
     * collection cannot contain an incorrectly typed element.
     *
     * <p>The generics mechanism in the language provides compile-time
     * (static) type checking, but it is possible to defeat this mechanism
     * with unchecked casts.  Usually this is not a problem, as the compiler
     * issues warnings on all such unchecked operations.  There are, however,
     * times when static type checking alone is not sufficient.  For example,
     * suppose a collection is passed to a third-party library and it is
     * imperative that the library code not corrupt the collection by
     * inserting an element of the wrong type.
     *
     * <p>Another use of dynamically typesafe views is debugging.  Suppose a
     * program fails with a <tt>ClassCastException</tt>, indicating that an
     * incorrectly typed element was put into a parameterized collection.
     * Unfortunately, the exception can occur at any time after the erroneous
     * element is inserted, so it typically provides little or no information
     * as to the real source of the problem.  If the problem is reproducible,
     * one can quickly determine its source by temporarily modifying the
     * program to wrap the collection with a dynamically typesafe view.
     * For example, this declaration:
     * <pre>
     *     Collection&lt;String&gt; c = new HashSet&lt;String&gt;();
     * </pre>
     * may be replaced temporarily by this one:
     * <pre>
     *     Collection&lt;String&gt; c = Collections.checkedCollection(
     *         new HashSet&lt;String&gt;(), String.class);
     * </pre>
     * Running the program again will cause it to fail at the point where
     * an incorrectly typed element is inserted into the collection, clearly
     * identifying the source of the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, the
     * modified declaration may be reverted back to the original.
     *
     * <p>The returned collection does <i>not</i> pass the hashCode and equals
     * operations through to the backing collection, but relies on
     * <tt>Object</tt>'s <tt>equals</tt> and <tt>hashCode</tt> methods.  This
     * is necessary to preserve the contracts of these operations in the case
     * that the backing collection is a set or a list.
     *
     * <p>The returned collection will be serializable if the specified
     * collection is serializable.
     *
     * @param c the collection for which a dynamically typesafe view is to be
