/**
 * A collection that supports order-independent equality, like {@link Set}, but
 * may have duplicate elements. A multiset is also sometimes called a
 * <i>bag</i>.
 *
 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as
 * <i>occurrences</i> of the same single element. The total number of
 * occurrences of an element in a multiset is called the <i>count</i> of that
 * element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but not
 * used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code
 * int}, a multiset may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE}
 * occurrences of any one element.
 *
 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from
 * {@code Collection}. It also defines an additional query operation, {@link
 * #count}, which returns the count of an element. There are five new
 * bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)}, to add
 * or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of
 * an element to a specific value. These modification operations are optional,
 * but implementations which support the standard collection operations {@link
 * #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged to implement the
 * related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link
 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates
 * collapsed", and {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry
 * Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing both a distinct element and the
 * count of that element.
 *
 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code
 * Multiset} are expected to provide two {@code static} creation methods:
 * {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and {@code
 * create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the
 * given initial elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s
 * constructor recommendations, reflecting the new developments of Java 5.
 *
 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional,
 * and should throw {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not
 * implemented. Most implementations should support either all add operations
 * or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if and only if
 * all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well.
 *
 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances
 * should be considered "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the
 * implementation.
 *
 * <p>Common implementations include {@link ImmutableMultiset}, {@link
 * HashMultiset}, and {@link ConcurrentHashMultiset}.
 *
 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you
 * may wish to use {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap}
 * instead. Note, however, that unlike {@code Multiset}, {@code AtomicLongMap}
 * does not automatically remove zeros.
 *
 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#multiset">
 * {@code Multiset}</a>.
