/**
 * {@code AWTEventMulticaster} implements efficient and thread-safe multi-cast
 * event dispatching for the AWT events defined in the {@code java.awt.event}
 * package.
 * <p>
 * The following example illustrates how to use this class:
 *
 * <pre><code>
 * public myComponent extends Component {
 *     ActionListener actionListener = null;
 *
 *     public synchronized void addActionListener(ActionListener l) {
 *         actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.add(actionListener, l);
 *     }
 *     public synchronized void removeActionListener(ActionListener l) {
 *         actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.remove(actionListener, l);
 *     }
 *     public void processEvent(AWTEvent e) {
 *         // when event occurs which causes "action" semantic
 *         ActionListener listener = actionListener;
 *         if (listener != null) {
 *             listener.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent());
 *         }
 *     }
 * }
 * </code></pre>
 * The important point to note is the first argument to the {@code
 * add} and {@code remove} methods is the field maintaining the
 * listeners. In addition you must assign the result of the {@code add}
 * and {@code remove} methods to the field maintaining the listeners.
 * <p>
 * {@code AWTEventMulticaster} is implemented as a pair of {@code
 * EventListeners} that are set at construction time. {@code
 * AWTEventMulticaster} is immutable. The {@code add} and {@code
 * remove} methods do not alter {@code AWTEventMulticaster} in
 * anyway. If necessary, a new {@code AWTEventMulticaster} is
 * created. In this way it is safe to add and remove listeners during
 * the process of an event dispatching.  However, event listeners
 * added during the process of an event dispatch operation are not
 * notified of the event currently being dispatched.
 * <p>
 * All of the {@code add} methods allow {@code null} arguments. If the
 * first argument is {@code null}, the second argument is returned. If
 * the first argument is not {@code null} and the second argument is
 * {@code null}, the first argument is returned. If both arguments are
 * {@code non-null}, a new {@code AWTEventMulticaster} is created using
 * the two arguments and returned.
 * <p>
 * For the {@code remove} methods that take two arguments, the following is
 * returned:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@code null}, if the first argument is {@code null}, or
 *       the arguments are equal, by way of {@code ==}.
 *   <li>the first argument, if the first argument is not an instance of
 *       {@code AWTEventMulticaster}.
 *   <li>result of invoking {@code remove(EventListener)} on the
 *       first argument, supplying the second argument to the
 *       {@code remove(EventListener)} method.
 * </ul>
 * <p>Swing makes use of
 * {@link javax.swing.event.EventListenerList EventListenerList} for
 * similar logic. Refer to it for details.
