/**
 * Implements <code>SortedBag</code>, using a <code>TreeMap</code> to provide
 * the data storage. This is the standard implementation of a sorted bag.
 * <p>
 * Order will be maintained among the bag members and can be viewed through the
 * iterator.
 * <p>
 * A <code>Bag</code> stores each object in the collection together with a
 * count of occurrences. Extra methods on the interface allow multiple copies
 * of an object to be added or removed at once. It is important to read the
 * interface javadoc carefully as several methods violate the
 * <code>Collection</code> interface specification.
