/**
 * Utility class consisting of static methods that operate on, or return
 * Collections. Contains methods to sort, search, reverse, fill and shuffle
 * Collections, methods to facilitate interoperability with legacy APIs that
 * are unaware of collections, a method to return a list which consists of
 * multiple copies of one element, and methods which "wrap" collections to give
 * them extra properties, such as thread-safety and unmodifiability.
 * <p>
 *
 * All methods which take a collection throw a {@link NullPointerException} if
 * that collection is null. Algorithms which can change a collection may, but
 * are not required, to throw the {@link UnsupportedOperationException} that
 * the underlying collection would throw during an attempt at modification.
 * For example,
 * <code>Collections.singleton("").addAll(Collections.EMPTY_SET)</code>
 * does not throw a exception, even though addAll is an unsupported operation
 * on a singleton; the reason for this is that addAll did not attempt to
 * modify the set.
