/**
* Decorates another <code>Collection</code> to provide additional behaviour.
* <p>
* Each method call made on this <code>Collection</code> is forwarded to the
* decorated <code>Collection</code>. This class is used as a framework on which
* to build to extensions such as synchronized and unmodifiable behaviour. The
* main advantage of decoration is that one decorator can wrap any implementation
* of <code>Collection</code>, whereas sub-classing requires a new class to be
* written for each implementation.
* <p>
* This implementation does not perform any special processing with
* {@link #iterator()}. Instead it simply returns the value from the
* wrapped collection. This may be undesirable, for example if you are trying
* to write an unmodifiable implementation it might provide a loophole.
