Many implementations will override this method for efficiency. Note that this implementation throws an `UnsupportedOperationException` unless add(int, Object) add(int, E) is overridden.
	`protected void`	`checkCollectionType(Collection c)` Checks that each member of the given collection are of the correct type
	`protected void`	`checkType(Object object)` Checks that the given object instance is of the correct type otherwise a runtime exception is thrown
	`public void`	`clear()` Removes all of the elements from this list. The list will be empty after this call returns.
	`public boolean`	`equals(Object that)` Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returns `true` if and only if the specified object is also a list, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal. (Two elements `e1` and `e2` are equal if `(e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2))`.) In other words, two lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order. Implementation Requirements: This implementation first checks if the specified object is this list. If so, it returns `true`; if not, it checks if the specified object is a list. If not, it returns `false`; if so, it iterates over both lists, comparing corresponding pairs of elements. If any comparison returns `false`, this method returns `false`. If either iterator runs out of elements before the other it returns `false` (as the lists are of unequal length); otherwise it returns `true` when the iterations complete. Parameters: `o` - the object to be compared for equality with this list Returns: `true` if the specified object is equal to this list
	`public boolean`	`equals(Sequence that)` Compares this sequence with another sequence using Groovy equality.
	`public MetaClass`	`getMetaClass()` * Returns the metaclass for a given class. * * Returns: the metaClass of this instance
	`public Object`	`getProperty(String property)` * Retrieves a property value. * * Parameters: `propertyName` - the name of the property of interest * Returns: the given property
	`public int`	`hashCode()` Returns the hash code value for this list. Implementation Requirements: This implementation uses exactly the code that is used to define the list hash function in the documentation for the List.hashCode method. Returns: the hash code value for this list
	`public Object`	`invokeMethod(String name, Object args)` * Invokes the given method. * * Parameters: `name` - the name of the method to call * `args` - the arguments to use for the method call * Returns: the result of invoking the method
	`public int`	`minimumSize()` Returns the minimum allowed size for this sequence.
	`public Object`	`remove(int index)` Removes the element at the specified position in this list. Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list. throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `remove` operation is not supported by this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: UnsupportedOperationException Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list. throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `remove` operation is not supported by this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list. throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `remove` operation is not supported by this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) Parameters: `index` - the index of the element to be removed `index` - the index of the element to be removed `index` - the index of the element to be removed `index` - the index of the element to be removed Returns: the element that was removed from the list the element previously at the specified position the element previously at the specified position the element previously at the specified position Implementation Requirements: This implementation always throws an `UnsupportedOperationException`.
	`protected void`	`removeRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex)` Removes from this list all of the elements whose index is between `fromIndex`, inclusive, and `toIndex`, exclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by `(toIndex - fromIndex)` elements. (If `toIndex==fromIndex`, this operation has no effect.) throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if `fromIndex` or `toIndex` is out of range (`fromIndex < 0 \|\| toIndex > size() \|\| toIndex < fromIndex`)
	`public void`	`set(Collection collection)` Sets the contents of this sequence to that of the given collection.
	`public Object`	`set(int index, Object element)` Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element. throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: UnsupportedOperationException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: ClassCastException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: NullPointerException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: IllegalArgumentException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified element (optional operation). throws: UnsupportedOperationException if the `set` operation is not supported by this list throws: ClassCastException if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: NullPointerException if the specified element is null and this list does not permit null elements throws: IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this list throws: IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (`index < 0 \|\| index >= size()`) Parameters: `index` -

    Returns:
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    Implementation Requirements:
    This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and iterates over it, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list at the appropriate position, one at a time, using add(int, E). Many implementations will override this method for efficiency.
    Note that this implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException unless add(int, Object) add(int, E) is overridden.
  - protected void checkCollectionType(Collection c)
    
    Checks that each member of the given collection are of the correct type
  - protected void checkType(Object object)
    
    Checks that the given object instance is of the correct type otherwise a runtime exception is thrown
  - public void clear()
    
    Removes all of the elements from this list. The list will be empty after this call returns.
  - public boolean equals(Object that)
    
    Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a list, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal. (Two elements e1 and e2 are equal if (e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2)).) In other words, two lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.
    Implementation Requirements:
    This implementation first checks if the specified object is this list. If so, it returns true; if not, it checks if the specified object is a list. If not, it returns false; if so, it iterates over both lists, comparing corresponding pairs of elements. If any comparison returns false, this method returns false. If either iterator runs out of elements before the other it returns false (as the lists are of unequal length); otherwise it returns true when the iterations complete.
    Parameters:
    o - the object to be compared for equality with this list
    Returns:
    true if the specified object is equal to this list
  - public boolean equals(Sequence that)
    
    Compares this sequence with another sequence using Groovy equality.
    Parameters:
    that - the other sequence
    Returns:
    true if the sequences are equal
  - public MetaClass getMetaClass()
    
    * Returns the metaclass for a given class. * *

    * Retrieves a property value. * *
    Parameters:
    propertyName - the name of the property of interest *
    Returns:
    the given property
  - public int hashCode()
    
    Returns the hash code value for this list.
    Implementation Requirements:
    This implementation uses exactly the code that is used to define the list hash function in the documentation for the List.hashCode method.
    Returns:
    the hash code value for this list
  - public Object invokeMethod(String name, Object args)
    
    * Invokes the given method. * *
    Parameters:

    Returns the minimum allowed size for this sequence.
    Returns:
    the minimum size
  - public Object remove(int index)
    
    Removes the element at the specified position in this list. Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices).
    throws:
    IndexOutOfBoundsException Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list.
    throws:
    UnsupportedOperationException if the remove operation is not supported by this list
    throws:
    IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size())
