| /** |
| * An ordered collection (also known as a <i>sequence</i>). The user of this |
| * interface has precise control over where in the list each element is |
| * inserted. The user can access elements by their integer index (position in |
| * the list), and search for elements in the list.<p> |
| * |
| * Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate elements. More formally, |
| * lists typically allow pairs of elements <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> |
| * such that <tt>e1.equals(e2)</tt>, and they typically allow multiple |
| * null elements if they allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable |
| * that someone might wish to implement a list that prohibits duplicates, by |
| * throwing runtime exceptions when the user attempts to insert them, but we |
| * expect this usage to be rare.<p> |
| * |
| * The <tt>List</tt> interface places additional stipulations, beyond those |
| * specified in the <tt>Collection</tt> interface, on the contracts of the |
| * <tt>iterator</tt>, <tt>add</tt>, <tt>remove</tt>, <tt>equals</tt>, and |
| * <tt>hashCode</tt> methods. Declarations for other inherited methods are |
| * also included here for convenience.<p> |
| * |
| * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides four methods for positional (indexed) |
| * access to list elements. Lists (like Java arrays) are zero based. Note |
| * that these operations may execute in time proportional to the index value |
| * for some implementations (the <tt>LinkedList</tt> class, for |
| * example). Thus, iterating over the elements in a list is typically |
| * preferable to indexing through it if the caller does not know the |
| * implementation.<p> |
| * |
| * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides a special iterator, called a |
| * <tt>ListIterator</tt>, that allows element insertion and replacement, and |
| * bidirectional access in addition to the normal operations that the |
| * <tt>Iterator</tt> interface provides. A method is provided to obtain a |
| * list iterator that starts at a specified position in the list.<p> |
| * |
| * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to search for a specified |
| * object. From a performance standpoint, these methods should be used with |
| * caution. In many implementations they will perform costly linear |
| * searches.<p> |
| * |
| * The <tt>List</tt> interface provides two methods to efficiently insert and |
| * remove multiple elements at an arbitrary point in the list.<p> |
| * |
| * Note: While it is permissible for lists to contain themselves as elements, |
| * extreme caution is advised: the <tt>equals</tt> and <tt>hashCode</tt> |
| * methods are no longer well defined on such a list. |
| * |
| * <p>Some list implementations have restrictions on the elements that |
| * they may contain. For example, some implementations prohibit null elements, |
| * and some have restrictions on the types of their elements. Attempting to |
| * add an ineligible element throws an unchecked exception, typically |
| * <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>. Attempting |
| * to query the presence of an ineligible element may throw an exception, |
| * or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit the former |
| * behavior and some will exhibit the latter. More generally, attempting an |
| * operation on an ineligible element whose completion would not result in |
| * the insertion of an ineligible element into the list may throw an |
| * exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation. |
| * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this |
| * interface. |

| * This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of |

| * instead of a whole list. For example, the following idiom |

| * <pre>{@code |
| * list.subList(from, to).clear(); |
| * }</pre> |
