19  * A {@link SortedSet} extended with navigation methods reporting
20  * closest matches for given search targets. Methods {@code lower},
21  * {@code floor}, {@code ceiling}, and {@code higher} return elements
22  * respectively less than, less than or equal, greater than or equal,
23  * and greater than a given element, returning {@code null} if there
24  * is no such element.  A {@code NavigableSet} may be accessed and
25  * traversed in either ascending or descending order.  The {@code
26  * descendingSet} method returns a view of the set with the senses of
27  * all relational and directional methods inverted. The performance of
28  * ascending operations and views is likely to be faster than that of
29  * descending ones.  This interface additionally defines methods
30  * {@code pollFirst} and {@code pollLast} that return and remove the
31  * lowest and highest element, if one exists, else returning {@code
32  * null}.  Methods {@code subSet}, {@code headSet},
33  * and {@code tailSet} differ from the like-named {@code
34  * SortedSet} methods in accepting additional arguments describing
35  * whether lower and upper bounds are inclusive versus exclusive.
36  * Subsets of any {@code NavigableSet} must implement the {@code
37  * NavigableSet} interface.
38  *
39  * <p> The return values of navigation methods may be ambiguous in
40  * implementations that permit {@code null} elements. However, even
41  * in this case the result can be disambiguated by checking
42  * {@code contains(null)}. To avoid such issues, implementations of
43  * this interface are encouraged to <em>not</em> permit insertion of
44  * {@code null} elements. (Note that sorted sets of {@link
45  * Comparable} elements intrinsically do not permit {@code null}.)
46  *
47  * <p>Methods
48  * {@link #subSet(Object, Object) subSet(E, E)},
49  * {@link #headSet(Object) headSet(E)}, and
50  * {@link #tailSet(Object) tailSet(E)}
51  * are specified to return {@code SortedSet} to allow existing
52  * implementations of {@code SortedSet} to be compatibly retrofitted to
53  * implement {@code NavigableSet}, but extensions and implementations
54  * of this interface are encouraged to override these methods to return
55  * {@code NavigableSet}.
