* Marker interface for collections, maps and iterators that are unmodifiable.

* This interface enables testing such as:
* <pre>
* if (coll instanceof Unmodifiable) {
* coll = new ArrayList(coll);
* }
* // now we know coll is modifiable
* </pre>
* Of course all this only works if you use the Unmodifiable classes defined
* in this library. If you use the JDK unmodifiable class via java util Collections
* then the interface won't be there.
