/**
* Abstract super class for tuples. This class can be used to easily create multi-element keys and
* values for collections. This class also extends {@link UnmodifiableForwardingList} so it can
* conveniently be used as a {@link List} when necessary.
*
* For example, if a map needs to be keyed by two elements:
*
* - You can avoid a map or maps, e.g., {@code Map<?, Map<?, ?>>}.
* - You can use a two-element keys, e.g., {@code Map<? extends AbstractTuple<?>, ?>}.
*
*
* Methods {@link #hashCode()} and {@link #equals(Object)} have correct overrides in this class,
* making it safe for use in standard Java collections.
*
* @author Kevin Connor ARPE ([email protected])
*
* @param
* tuple element type; may be {@link Object} for tuples with mixed element types
