 * <ul>

 *       <i>removing</i> that key from the multimap.
 *   <li>The total entry count is available as {@link #size}.
 *   <li>Many complex operations become easier; for example, {@code
 *       Collections.min(multimap.values())} finds the smallest value across all keys.
 * </ul>

 * <h3>Implementations</h3>
