+This note describes some conventions which must be followed to keep
 the collection libraries consistent.
 
 We distinguish in the following between two kinds of methods
 
- - Accessors access some of the elements of a collection, but return a result which
+ - ``Accessors'' access some of the elements of a collection, but return a result which
    is unrelated to the collection. 
    Example of accessors are: head, foldLeft, indexWhere, toSeq.
 
- - Transformers access elements of a collection and produce a new collection of related
-   type as a result. The relation might either be direct (same type as rceiver)

    or indirect, linked by a CanBuildFrom implicit.
    Example of transformers are: filter, map, groupBy, zip.

 Every collection type has a Proxy class that forwards all operations to
 an underlying collection. Proxy methods are all implemented in classes

 class you need to add the same method to the corresponding ProxyLike class.
 
 2. Forwarders
 
 Classes Traversable, Iterable, and Seq also have forwarders, which
 forward all collection-specific accessor operations to an underlying
