- *
- *
- * Predicate is an interface for any class supporting a
- * predicate(Object obj) method that returns true or false
- * depending on whether obj obeys the maintained predicate.
- * <P>
- * When used as an element screener, check should
- * return false if the
- * element should not be allowed in the collection, in which case
- * any attempted add or replace operation will raise an exception. Use of
- * screened collections is a simple way to dynamically ensure
- * that all elements have some desired property.
