 * A pair consisting of two elements.

 * {@code Map.Entry} interface where the key is 'left' and the value is 'right'.
 *
 * Subclass implementations may be mutable or immutable.
 * However, there is no restriction on the type of the stored objects that may be stored.
 * If mutable objects are stored in the pair, then the pair itself effectively becomes mutable.
