/**
 * Abstract class representing a collection of Permission objects.
 *
 * <p>With a PermissionCollection, you can:
 * <UL>
 * <LI> add a permission to the collection using the {@code add} method.
 * <LI> check to see if a particular permission is implied in the
 *      collection, using the {@code implies} method.
 * <LI> enumerate all the permissions, using the {@code elements} method.
 * </UL>
 *
 * <p>When it is desirable to group together a number of Permission objects
 * of the same type, the {@code newPermissionCollection} method on that
 * particular type of Permission object should first be called. The default
 * behavior (from the Permission class) is to simply return null.
 * Subclasses of class Permission override the method if they need to store
 * their permissions in a particular PermissionCollection object in order
 * to provide the correct semantics when the
 * {@code PermissionCollection.implies} method is called.
 * If a non-null value is returned, that PermissionCollection must be used.
 * If null is returned, then the caller of {@code newPermissionCollection}
 * is free to store permissions of the
 * given type in any PermissionCollection they choose
 * (one that uses a Hashtable, one that uses a Vector, etc).
 *
 * <p>The PermissionCollection returned by the
 * {@code Permission.newPermissionCollection}
 * method is a homogeneous collection, which stores only Permission objects
 * for a given Permission type.  A PermissionCollection may also be
 * heterogeneous.  For example, Permissions is a PermissionCollection
 * subclass that represents a collection of PermissionCollections.
 * That is, its members are each a homogeneous PermissionCollection.
 * For example, a Permissions object might have a FilePermissionCollection
 * for all the FilePermission objects, a SocketPermissionCollection for all the
 * SocketPermission objects, and so on. Its {@code add} method adds a
 * permission to the appropriate collection.
 *
 * <p>Whenever a permission is added to a heterogeneous PermissionCollection
 * such as Permissions, and the PermissionCollection doesn't yet contain a
 * PermissionCollection of the specified permission's type, the
 * PermissionCollection should call
 * the {@code newPermissionCollection} method on the permission's class
 * to see if it requires a special PermissionCollection. If
 * {@code newPermissionCollection}
 * returns null, the PermissionCollection
 * is free to store the permission in any type of PermissionCollection it
 * desires (one using a Hashtable, one using a Vector, etc.). For example,
 * the Permissions object uses a default PermissionCollection implementation
 * that stores the permission objects in a Hashtable.
 *
 * <p> Subclass implementations of PermissionCollection should assume
 * that they may be called simultaneously from multiple threads,
 * and therefore should be synchronized properly.  Furthermore,
 * Enumerations returned via the {@code elements} method are
 * not <em>fail-fast</em>.  Modifications to a collection should not be
 * performed while enumerating over that collection.
