* A builder for creating immutable bimap instances, especially {@code public static final} bimaps
   * ("constant bimaps"). Example:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * static final ImmutableBiMap<String, Integer> WORD_TO_INT =
   *     new ImmutableBiMap.Builder<String, Integer>()
   *         .put("one", 1)
   *         .put("two", 2)
   *         .put("three", 3)
   *         .buildOrThrow();
   * }</pre>
   *

   * cast, for example:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * Set<Object> aFewBadObjects = ...
   * Set<String> manyBadStrings = ...
   *
   * // impossible for a non-String to be in the intersection
   * SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
   * Set<String> badStrings = (Set) Sets.intersection(
   *     aFewBadObjects, manyBadStrings);
   * }</pre>
   *

   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * Multimap<String, Integer> multimap =
   *     ImmutableMultimap.of("a", 1, "a", 4, "b", 6);
   * EntryTransformer<String, Integer, String> transformer =
   *     new EntryTransformer<String, Integer, String>() {
   *       public String transformEntry(String key, Integer value) {
   *         return key + value;
   *       }
   *     };
   * Multimap<String, String> transformed =

   * example, the code:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * Map<String, Boolean> options =
   *     ImmutableMap.of("verbose", true, "sort", false);
   * EntryTransformer<String, Boolean, String> flagPrefixer =
   *     new EntryTransformer<String, Boolean, String>() {
   *       public String transformEntry(String key, Boolean value) {
   *         return value ? key : "no" + key;
   *       }
   *     };

   * undocumented and subject to change.
   *
   * <p>Note that if {@code list} is a {@code List<String>}, then {@code ImmutableList.copyOf(list)}
   * returns an {@code ImmutableList<String>} containing each of the strings in {@code list}, while
   * {@code ImmutableList.of(list)} returns an {@code ImmutableList<List<String>>} containing one
   * element (the given list itself).
   *

   * static final Multimap<Character, String> FIRST_LETTER_MULTIMAP =
   *     Stream.of("banana", "apple", "carrot", "asparagus", "cherry")
   *         .collect(toImmutableListMultimap(str -> str.charAt(0), str -> str.substring(1)));
   *
   * // is equivalent to
   *
   * static final Multimap<Character, String> FIRST_LETTER_MULTIMAP =
   *     new ImmutableListMultimap.Builder<Character, String>()
   *         .put('b', "anana")
