/**
* This class allows to compare two objects sequences.
*
* The two sequences can hold any object type, as only the equals
* method is used to compare the elements of the sequences. It is guaranteed
* that the comparisons will always be done as o1.equals(o2) where
* o1 belongs to the first sequence and o2 belongs to
* the second sequence. This can be important if subclassing is used for some
* elements in the first sequence and the equals method is
* specialized.
*
* Comparison can be seen from two points of view: either as giving the smallest
* modification allowing to transform the first sequence into the second one, or
* as giving the longest sequence which is a subsequence of both initial
* sequences. The equals method is used to compare objects, so any
* object can be put into sequences. Modifications include deleting, inserting
* or keeping one object, starting from the beginning of the first sequence.
*
* This class implements the comparison algorithm, which is the very efficient
* algorithm from Eugene W. Myers
*
* An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations. This algorithm produces
* the shortest possible
* {@link EditScript edit script}
* containing all the
* {@link EditCommand commands}
* needed to transform the first sequence into the second one.
