/**
* A {@code Multimap} that cannot hold duplicate key-value pairs. Adding a
* key-value pair that's already in the multimap has no effect. See the {@link
* Multimap} documentation for information common to all multimaps.
*
* The {@link #get}, {@link #removeAll}, and {@link #replaceValues} methods
* each return a {@link Set} of values, while {@link #entries} returns a {@code
* Set} of map entries. Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly,
* the map returned by {@link #asMap} has {@code Set} values.
*
*
If the values corresponding to a single key should be ordered according to
* a {@link java.util.Comparator} (or the natural order), see the
* {@link SortedSetMultimap} subinterface.
*
*
Since the value collections are sets, the behavior of a {@code SetMultimap}
* is not specified if key or value objects already present in the
* multimap change in a manner that affects {@code equals} comparisons.
* Use caution if mutable objects are used as keys or values in a
* {@code SetMultimap}.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on
* {@code Multimap}.
