Guava comes in two flavors:

*   If you need support for Android, use
    [the Android flavor](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/Android). You can

        just a feature that seems like a sensible addition to Guava?


        Before new features get added to Guava, we really want to be sure that it's for a use case
        that actually comes up in the real world. We want to hear the real-world use case so the
        community can discuss and debate whether this feature is actually the *best* way to address
