| * Unlike a List, the members of the sequence are not directly obtainable. |
| * <p> |
| * Implementations of Sequence are primarily intended for use in content |
| * difference detection algorithms, to produce an {@link EditList} of |
| * {@link Edit} instances describing how two Sequence instances differ. |
| * <p> |
| * To be compared against another Sequence of the same type, a supporting |
| * {@link SequenceComparator} must also be supplied. |
