#### Merging pull requests ####

Due to Guava's nature as a subset of Google's internal codebase which is
automatically synced to the public GitHub repository, we are unable to merge
pull requests directly into the master branch. Instead, once a pull request is
ready for merging, we'll make the appropriate changes in the internal codebase

  /**
   * The interval between two unit requests, at our stable rate. E.g., a stable rate of 5 permits
   * per second has a stable interval of 200ms.
   */
  double stableIntervalMicros;

  /**
   * The time when the next request (no matter its size) will be granted. After granting a request,
   * this is pushed further in the future. Large requests push this further than small requests.
