 * terms</a>):
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>directed graphs
 *   <li>undirected graphs
 *   <li>graphs that do/don't allow self-loops
 *   <li>graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered
 *   <li>graphs whose edges have associated values

 *
 * <p>Unpacking this definition:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li><b>block of data:</b> the input for a hash function is always, in concept, an ordered byte
 *       array. This hashing API accepts an arbitrary sequence of byte and multibyte values (via
 *       {@link Hasher}), but this is merely a convenience; these are always translated into raw
 *       byte sequences under the covers.

   *   <li>If there is any non-private constructor or non-private static factory method declared by
   *       {@code cls}:
   *       <ul>
   *         <li>Test will fail if default value for a parameter cannot be determined.
   *         <li>Test will fail if the factory method returns null so testing instance methods is
   *             impossible.

 *
 * <p>Cache statistics are incremented according to the following rules:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>When a cache lookup encounters an existing cache entry {@code hitCount} is incremented.
 *   <li>When a cache lookup first encounters a missing cache entry, a new entry is loaded.
 *       <ul>
 *         <li>After successfully loading an entry {@code missCount} and {@code loadSuccessCount}

   * Verifies that a collection is immutable.
   *
   * <p>A collection is considered immutable if:
   *
   * <ol>
   *   <li>All its mutation methods result in UnsupportedOperationException, and do not change the
   *       underlying contents.
   *   <li>All methods that return objects that can indirectly mutate the collection throw
   *       UnsupportedOperationException when those mutators are called.
   * </ol>

 *
 * <p>Cache statistics are incremented according to the following rules:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>When a cache lookup encounters an existing cache entry {@code hitCount} is incremented.
 *   <li>When a cache lookup first encounters a missing cache entry, a new entry is loaded.
 *       <ul>
 *         <li>After successfully loading an entry {@code missCount} and {@code loadSuccessCount}

 * actions taken by the java garbage collection system:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>invoking the {@code finalize} methods of unreachable objects
 *   <li>clearing weak references to unreachable referents
 *   <li>enqueuing weak references to unreachable referents in their reference queue
 * </ul>
 *

 *   <li>Convert multiple instances "forward" using {@code converter.convertAll(as)}.
 *   <li>Convert in the "backward" direction using {@code converter.reverse().convert(b)} or {@code
 *       converter.reverse().convertAll(bs)}.
 *   <li>Use {@code converter} or {@code converter.reverse()} anywhere a {@link
 *       java.util.function.Function} is accepted (for example {@link java.util.stream.Stream#map
 *       Stream.map}).

 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>If your answers are:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>(1) "no" and (2) "no", use {@link #forGraph(SuccessorsFunction)}.
 *   <li>(1) "yes" and (2) "yes", use {@link #forTree(SuccessorsFunction)}.
 *   <li>(1) "yes" and (2) "no", you can use either, but {@code forTree()} will be more efficient.
 *   <li>(1) "no" and (2) "yes", <b><i>neither will work</i></b>, but if you transform your node

   * <p>Similar methods:
   *
   * <ul>
   *   <li>To retrieve a result from a {@code Future} that is already done, use {@link
   *       Futures#getDone Futures.getDone}.
   *   <li>To treat {@link InterruptedException} uniformly with other exceptions, use {@link
   *       Futures#getChecked(Future, Class) Futures.getChecked}.
   *   <li>To get uninterruptibility and remove checked exceptions, use {@link
