/**
 * Pair is a helper class for the frequent case, when two objects
 * must be combined for a collection entry or even a key. The concept of a pair
 * is fundamental for all languages derived from LISP and is even useful in a
 * language like Java.
 * 
 * Note: Pairs may be used as keys for a hash collection, when
 * both elements, named head and tail, implements the hashing protocol.
