/**
 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the <tt>List</tt>
 * interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface
 * backed by a "sequential access" data store (such as a linked list).  For
 * random access data (such as an array), <tt>AbstractList</tt> should be used
 * in preference to this class.<p>
 *
 * This class is the opposite of the <tt>AbstractList</tt> class in the sense
 * that it implements the "random access" methods (<tt>get(int index)</tt>,
 * <tt>set(int index, E element)</tt>, <tt>add(int index, E element)</tt> and
 * <tt>remove(int index)</tt>) on top of the list's list iterator, instead of
 * the other way around.<p>
 *
 * To implement a list the programmer needs only to extend this class and
 * provide implementations for the <tt>listIterator</tt> and <tt>size</tt>
 * methods.  For an unmodifiable list, the programmer need only implement the
 * list iterator's <tt>hasNext</tt>, <tt>next</tt>, <tt>hasPrevious</tt>,
 * <tt>previous</tt> and <tt>index</tt> methods.<p>
 *
 * For a modifiable list the programmer should additionally implement the list
 * iterator's <tt>set</tt> method.  For a variable-size list the programmer
 * should additionally implement the list iterator's <tt>remove</tt> and
 * <tt>add</tt> methods.<p>
 *
 * The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection
 * constructor, as per the recommendation in the <tt>Collection</tt> interface
 * specification.<p>
 *
 * This class is a member of the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">
 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
