 * resulting {@link HashCode} is dependent only on the bytes inserted, and the order in which they
 * were inserted, not how those bytes were chunked into discrete put() operations. For example, the
 * following three expressions all generate colliding hash codes:
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * newHasher().putByte(b1).putByte(b2).putByte(b3).hash()

 * rangeSet.remove(Range.open(5, 10)); // splits [1, 10]; {[1, 5], [10, 10], [11, 20)}
 * }
 *
 * <p>Note that the behavior of {@link Range#isEmpty()} and {@link Range#isConnected(Range)} may not
 * be as expected on discrete ranges. See the Javadoc of those methods for details.

 * <p>For a {@link Set} whose contents are specified by a {@link Range}, see {@link ContiguousSet}.
