   * <p>Like the {@link #toArray()} method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and
   * collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the
   * output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
   *
   * <p>Suppose {@code x} is a queue known to contain only strings. The following code can be used

 * <h3>Other notes</h3>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>All ranges are shallow-immutable.
 *   <li>Instances of this type are obtained using the static factory methods in this class.
 *   <li>Ranges are <i>convex</i>: whenever two values are contained, all values in between them
 *       must also be contained. More formally, for any {@code c1 <= c2 <= c3} of type {@code C},
