 * <p>There are three ways to get a {@code TypeToken} instance:

 * <ul>
 *   <li>Wrap a {@code Type} obtained via reflection. For example: {@code
 *       TypeToken.of(method.getGenericReturnType())}.

   * @param sequence the character sequence to examine
   * @param start the first index to examine; must be nonnegative and no greater than {@code
   *     sequence.length()}
   * @return the index of the first matching character, guaranteed to be no less than {@code start},

 *
 * <p>These features are all optional; caches can be created using all or none of them. By default,
 * cache instances created by {@code CacheBuilder} will not perform any type of eviction.
 *
 * <p>Usage example:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * LoadingCache<Key, Graph> graphs = CacheBuilder.newBuilder()
 *     .maximumSize(10000)
 *     .expireAfterWrite(Duration.ofMinutes(10))
 *     .removalListener(MY_LISTENER)
 *     .build(

   * if the primary input succeeds, it is never invoked. If, during the invocation of {@code
   * fallback}, an exception is thrown, this exception is used as the result of the output {@code
   * Future}.
   *
   * <p>Usage example:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * ListenableFuture<Integer> fetchCounterFuture = ...;
   *
   * // Falling back to a zero counter in case an exception happens when
   * // processing the RPC to fetch counters.

   * specified supplier. The keys and values of the entries are the result of applying the provided
   * mapping functions to the input elements, accumulated in the encounter order of the stream.
   *
   * <p>Example:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * static final ListMultimap<Character, String> FIRST_LETTER_MULTIMAP =
   *     Stream.of("banana", "apple", "carrot", "asparagus", "cherry")
