/** A strawman architecture for new collections. It contains some
 *  example collection classes and methods with the intent to expose
 *  some key issues. It would be good to compare this to odether
 *  implementations of the same functionality, to get an idea of the
 *  strengths and weaknesses of different collection architectures.
 *
 *  For a test file, see tests/run/CollectionTests.scala.
 *
 *  Strawman6 is like strawman5, and adds lazy lists (i.e. lazie streams), arrays
 *  and some utilitity methods (take, tail, mkString, toArray). Also, systematically
 *  uses builders for all strict collections.
 *
 *  Types covered in this strawman:
 *
 *  1. Collection base types:
 *
 *         IterableOnce, Iterable, Seq, LinearSeq, View, IndexedView
 *
 *  2. Collection creator base types:
 *
 *         FromIterable, IterableFactory, Buildable, Builder
 *
 *  3. Types that bundle operations:
 *
 *         IterableOps, IterableMonoTransforms, IterablePolyTransforms, IterableLike
 *         SeqMonoTransforms, SeqLike
 *
 *  4. Concrete collection types:
 *
 *         List, LazyList, ListBuffer, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, StringView, ArrayView
 *
 *  5. Decorators for existing types
 *
 *         StringOps, ArrayOps
 *
 *  6. Related non collection types:
 *
 *         Iterator, StringBuilder
 *
 *  Operations covered in this strawman:
 *
 *   1. Abstract operations, or expected to be overridden:
 *
 *      For iterables:
 *
 *         iterator, fromIterable, fromIterableWithSameElemType, knownLength, className
 *
 *      For sequences:
 *
 *         apply, length
 *
 *      For buildables:
 *
 *         newBuilder
 *
 *      For builders:
 *
 *         +=, result
 *
 *   2. Utility methods, might be overridden for performance:
 *
 *      Operations returning not necessarily a collection:
 *
 *         foreach, foldLeft, foldRight, indexWhere, isEmpty, head, size, mkString
 *
 *      Operations returning a collection of a fixed type constructor:
 *
 *         view, to, toArray, copyToArray
 *
 *      Type-preserving generic transforms:
 *
 *         filter, partition, take, drop, tail, reverse
 *
 *      Generic transforms returning collections of different element types:
 *
 *         map, flatMap, ++, zip
