 * Marker interface for collections, maps and iterators that are unmodifiable.
 * 

* This interface enables testing such as: *

*
 * if (coll instanceof Unmodifiable) {
 *   coll = new ArrayList(coll);
 * }
 * // now we know coll is modifiable
 * 
* Of course all this only works if you use the Unmodifiable classes defined * in this library. If you use the JDK unmodifiable class via {@code java.util Collections} * then the interface won't be there. * * @since 3.0 */ public interface Unmodifiable { // marker interface - no methods to implement }
