035/**
036 * A collection that supports order-independent equality, like {@link Set}, but may have duplicate
037 * elements. A multiset is also sometimes called a <i>bag</i>.
038 *
039 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as <i>occurrences</i> of
040 * the same single element. The total number of occurrences of an element in a multiset is called
041 * the <i>count</i> of that element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but
042 * not used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code int}, a multiset
043 * may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} occurrences of any one element.
044 *
045 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from {@code Collection}. It
046 * also defines an additional query operation, {@link #count}, which returns the count of an
047 * element. There are five new bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)},
048 * to add or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of an element to
049 * a specific value. These modification operations are optional, but implementations which support
050 * the standard collection operations {@link #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged
051 * to implement the related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link
052 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates collapsed", and
053 * {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing
054 * both a distinct element and the count of that element.
055 *
056 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code Multiset} are expected to
057 * provide two {@code static} creation methods: {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and
058 * {@code create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the given initial
059 * elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s constructor recommendations,
060 * reflecting the new developments of Java 5.
061 *
062 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, and should throw
063 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not implemented. Most implementations should
064 * support either all add operations or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if
065 * and only if all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well.
066 *
067 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances should be considered
068 * "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the implementation.
069 *
070 * <p><b>Warning:</b> as with normal {@link Set}s, it is almost always a bad idea to modify an
071 * element (in a way that affects its {@link Object#equals} behavior) while it is contained in a
072 * multiset. Undefined behavior and bugs will result.
073 *
074 * <h3>Implementations</h3>
075 *
076 * <ul>
077 *   <li>{@link ImmutableMultiset}
078 *   <li>{@link ImmutableSortedMultiset}
079 *   <li>{@link HashMultiset}
080 *   <li>{@link LinkedHashMultiset}
081 *   <li>{@link TreeMultiset}
082 *   <li>{@link EnumMultiset}
083 *   <li>{@link ConcurrentHashMultiset}
084 * </ul>
085 *
086 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you may wish to use
087 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} instead. Note, however, that unlike
088 * {@code Multiset}, {@code AtomicLongMap} does not automatically remove zeros.
089 *
