/**
* This class gathers all the {@link EditCommand commands} needed to transform
* one objects sequence into another objects sequence.
*
* An edit script is the most general view of the differences between two
* sequences. It is built as the result of the comparison between two sequences
* by the {@link SequencesComparator SequencesComparator} class. The user can
* walk through it using the visitor design pattern.
*
* It is guaranteed that the objects embedded in the {@link InsertCommand insert
* commands} come from the second sequence and that the objects embedded in
* either the {@link DeleteCommand delete commands} or {@link KeepCommand keep
* commands} come from the first sequence. This can be important if subclassing
* is used for some elements in the first sequence and the equals
* method is specialized.
