/**
 * 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 {@code NullPointerException}
 * 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 {@code sort} 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 {@code UnsupportedOperationException} if the collection does not
 * support the appropriate mutation primitive(s), such as the {@code set}
 * 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 {@code sort} method on an unmodifiable list that is
 * already sorted may or may not throw {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.

     * ({@code b}) forward two positions, perform the following invocation:
     * <pre>
     *     Collections.rotate(l.subList(1, 4), -1);

     * The resulting list is {@code [a, c, d, b, e]}.

     * <p>To move more than one element forward, increase the absolute value

     * shift distance.
     *
     * <p>If the specified list is small or implements the {@link
     * RandomAccess} interface, this implementation exchanges the first
     * element into the location it should go, and then repeatedly exchanges
     * the displaced element into the location it should go until a displaced
     * element is swapped into the first element.  If necessary, the process
     * is repeated on the second and successive elements, until the rotation
     * is complete.  If the specified list is large and doesn't implement the
     * {@code RandomAccess} interface, this implementation breaks the

    // Dynamically typesafe collection wrappers

    /**
     * Returns a dynamically typesafe view of the specified collection.
     * Any attempt to insert an element of the wrong type will result in an
     * immediate {@link ClassCastException}.  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 {@code ClassCastException}, 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> {@code
     *     Collection<String> c = new HashSet<>();
     * }</pre>
     * may be replaced temporarily by this one:
     *  <pre> {@code
     *     Collection<String> c = Collections.checkedCollection(
     *         new HashSet<>(), 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
     * {@code Object}'s {@code equals} and {@code hashCode} 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.
     *
     * <p>Since {@code null} is considered to be a value of any reference
     * type, the returned collection permits insertion of null elements
     * whenever the backing collection does.
     *
     * @param <E> the class of the objects in the collection
     * @param c the collection for which a dynamically typesafe view is to be
     *          returned
     * @param type the type of element that {@code c} is permitted to hold
     * @return a dynamically typesafe view of the specified collection
