Sounds great - and I know how difficult it can be to do documentation, and I
do find that there is a decent amount of it - just for this particular
instance I couldn't find what I was looking for. It's great work!

I agree that having something in the methods for getXXX and addXXX about
what the actual behavior is would be great - just to remind people that, for
instance, "add" does a straightforward add without checking for duplicates,
etc.

thanks very much!
