/**
 * A collection which forwards all its method calls to another collection.
 * Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the
 * backing collection as desired per the <a
 * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern">decorator pattern</a>.
 *
 * <p><b>Warning:</b> The methods of {@code ForwardingCollection} forward
 * <b>indiscriminately</b> to the methods of the delegate. For example,
 * overriding {@link #add} alone <b>will not</b> change the behavior of {@link
 * #addAll}, which can lead to unexpected behavior. In this case, you should
 * override {@code addAll} as well, either providing your own implementation, or
 * delegating to the provided {@code standardAddAll} method.
 *
 * <p>The {@code standard} methods are not guaranteed to be thread-safe, even
 * when all of the methods that they depend on are thread-safe.
