/**
 * Legacy version of {@link java.util.function.Predicate java.util.function.Predicate}. Determines a
 * true or false value for a given input.
 *
 * As this interface extends {@code java.util.function.Predicate}, an instance of this type may
 * be used as a {@code Predicate} directly. To use a {@code java.util.function.Predicate} where a
 * {@code com.google.common.base.Predicate} is expected, use the method reference {@code
 * predicate::test}.
 *
 * 
This interface is now a legacy type. Use {@code java.util.function.Predicate} (or the
 * appropriate primitive specialization such as {@code IntPredicate}) instead whenever possible.
 * Otherwise, at least reduce explicit dependencies on this type by using lambda expressions
 * or method references instead of classes, leaving your code easier to migrate in the future.
 *
 * 
The {@link Predicates} class provides common predicates and related utilities.
 *
 * 
See the Guava User Guide article on the use of {@code Predicate}.
