/**
 * Static methods operating on collections and maps.
 *
 * <p>This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on or
 * return stored collections and maps, jointly called containers. It contains
 * methods for changing certain properties of a container.  Because container
 * properties are immutable, these methods always return a new container
 * instance.  This allows stored container instances to be used safely by
 * multiple threads.  Creating the new container instance is not expensive and
 * creates only two new objects.</p>
 *
 * <p>When a container is created with a particular property, all containers
 * and iterators derived from that container will inherit the property.  For
 * example, if a read-uncommitted Map is created then calls to its subMap(),
 * values(), entrySet(), and keySet() methods will create read-uncommitted
 * containers also.</p>
 *
 * <p>Method names beginning with "configured" create a new container with a
 * specified {@link CursorConfig} from a given stored container.  This allows
 * configuring a container for read-committed isolation, read-uncommitted
 * isolation, or any other property supported by <code>CursorConfig</code>.
 * All operations performed with the resulting container will be performed with
 * the specified cursor configuration.</p>
