/**
 * This class provides a hashtable-backed implementation of the
 * Set interface, with predictable traversal order.
 * <p>
 *
 * It uses a hash-bucket approach; that is, hash collisions are handled
 * by linking the new node off of the pre-existing node (or list of
 * nodes).  In this manner, techniques such as linear probing (which
 * can cause primary clustering) and rehashing (which does not fit very
 * well with Java's method of precomputing hash codes) are avoided.  In
 * addition, this maintains a doubly-linked list which tracks insertion
 * order.  Note that the insertion order is not modified if an
 * <code>add</code> simply reinserts an element in the set.
 * <p>
 *
 * One of the nice features of tracking insertion order is that you can
 * copy a set, and regardless of the implementation of the original,
 * produce the same results when iterating over the copy.  This is possible
 * without needing the overhead of <code>TreeSet</code>.
 * <p>
 *
 * Under ideal circumstances (no collisions), LinkedHashSet offers O(1) 
 * performance on most operations.  In the worst case (all elements map
 * to the same hash code -- very unlikely), most operations are O(n).
 * <p>
 *
 * LinkedHashSet accepts the null entry.  It is not synchronized, so if
 * you need multi-threaded access, consider using:<br>
 * <code>Set s = Collections.synchronizedSet(new LinkedHashSet(...));</code>
 * <p>
 *
 * The iterators are <i>fail-fast</i>, meaning that any structural
 * modification, except for <code>remove()</code> called on the iterator
 * itself, cause the iterator to throw a
 * {@link ConcurrentModificationException} rather than exhibit
 * non-deterministic behavior.
