/**

 * <ul>
 *  <li>It is best suited for applications in which set sizes generally
 *       stay small, read-only operations
 *       vastly outnumber mutative operations, and you need
 *       to prevent interference among threads during traversal.
 *  <li>It is thread-safe.
 *  <li>Mutative operations(add, set, remove, etc) are expensive
 *      since they usually entail copying the entire underlying array.
 *  <li>Iterators do not support the mutative remove operation
 *  <li>Traversal via iterators is very fast and cannot ever encounter
 *      interference from other threads. Iterators rely on
 *      unchanging snapshots of the array at the time the iterators were
 *     constructed.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * <b>Sample Usage.</b> Probably the main application
 * of copy-on-write sets are classes that maintain

 * lock while sending a message, and where traversals normally
