/**
 * Represents a stack of parameter collections.
 * When retrieving a parameter, the stack is searched in a fixed order
 * and the first match returned. Setting parameters via the stack is
 * not supported. To minimize overhead, the stack has a fixed size and
 * does not maintain an internal array.
 * The supported stack entries, sorted by increasing priority, are:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Application parameters:
 *     expected to be the same for all clients used by an application.
 *     These provide "global", that is application-wide, defaults.
 *     </li>
 * <li>Client parameters:
 *     specific to an instance of
 *     {@link org.apache.http.client.HttpClient HttpClient}.
 *     These provide client specific defaults.
 *     </li>
 * <li>Request parameters:
 *     specific to a single request execution.
 *     For overriding client and global defaults.
 *     </li>
 * <li>Override parameters:
 *     specific to an instance of
 *     {@link org.apache.http.client.HttpClient HttpClient}.
 *     These can be used to set parameters that cannot be overridden
 *     on a per-request basis.
 *     </li>
 * </ol>
 * Each stack entry may be <code>null</code>. That is preferable over
 * an empty params collection, since it avoids searching the empty collection
 * when looking up parameters.
