/**
* 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</code> method.
* <LI> check to see if a particular permission is implied in the
! * collection, using the <code>implies</code> method.
! * <LI> enumerate all the permissions, using the <code>elements</code> method.
* </UL>
* <P>
*
* <p>When it is desirable to group together a number of Permission objects
! * of the same type, the <code>newPermissionCollection</code> 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</code> 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</code>
* 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</code>
* 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</code> 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</code> method on the permission's class
* to see if it requires a special PermissionCollection. If
! * <code>newPermissionCollection</code>
* 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</code> method are
* not <em>fail-fast</em>. Modifications to a collection should not be
* performed while enumerating over that collection.
