/**
 * This package contains generic collection interfaces and implementations, and
 * other utilities for working with collections. It is a part of the open-source
 * Guava libraries.
 *
 * Collection Types
 *
 * 
 * {@link com.google.common.collect.BiMap}
 * 
An extension of {@link java.util.Map} that guarantees the uniqueness of
 *     its values as well as that of its keys. This is sometimes called an
 *     "invertible map," since the restriction on values enables it to support
 *     an {@linkplain com.google.common.collect.BiMap#inverse inverse view} --
 *     which is another instance of {@code BiMap}.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.Multiset}
 * 
An extension of {@link java.util.Collection} that may contain duplicate
 *     values like a {@link java.util.List}, yet has order-independent equality
 *     like a {@link java.util.Set}.  One typical use for a multiset is to
 *     represent a histogram.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.Multimap}
 * 
A new type, which is similar to {@link java.util.Map}, but may contain
 *     multiple entries with the same key. Some behaviors of
 *     {@link com.google.common.collect.Multimap} are left unspecified and are
 *     provided only by the subtypes mentioned below.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap}
 * 
An extension of {@link com.google.common.collect.Multimap} which permits
 *     duplicate entries, supports random access of values for a particular key,
 *     and has partially order-dependent equality as defined by
 *     {@link com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap#equals(Object)}. {@code
 *     ListMultimap} takes its name from the fact that the {@linkplain
 *     com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap#get collection of values}
 *     associated with a given key fulfills the {@link java.util.List} contract.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap}
 * 
An extension of {@link com.google.common.collect.Multimap} which has
 *     order-independent equality and does not allow duplicate entries; that is,
 *     while a key may appear twice in a {@code SetMultimap}, each must map to a
 *     different value.  {@code SetMultimap} takes its name from the fact that
 *     the {@linkplain com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap#get collection of
 *     values} associated with a given key fulfills the {@link java.util.Set}
 *     contract.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.SortedSetMultimap}
 * 
An extension of {@link com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap} for which
 *     the {@linkplain com.google.common.collect.SortedSetMultimap#get
 *     collection values} associated with a given key is a
 *     {@link java.util.SortedSet}.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.Table}
 * 
A new type, which is similar to {@link java.util.Map}, but which indexes
 *     its values by an ordered pair of keys, a row key and column key.
 *
 * 
{@link com.google.common.collect.ClassToInstanceMap}
 * 
An extension of {@link java.util.Map} that associates a raw type with an
 *     instance of that type.
 * 
 *
