23   * This class gathers all the {@link EditCommand commands} needed to transform
24   * one objects sequence into another objects sequence.
25   * <p>
26   * An edit script is the most general view of the differences between two
27   * sequences. It is built as the result of the comparison between two sequences
28   * by the {@link SequencesComparator SequencesComparator} class. The user can
29   * walk through it using the <em>visitor</em> design pattern.
30   * </p>
31   * <p>
32   * It is guaranteed that the objects embedded in the {@link InsertCommand insert
33   * commands} come from the second sequence and that the objects embedded in
34   * either the {@link DeleteCommand delete commands} or {@link KeepCommand keep
35   * commands} come from the first sequence. This can be important if subclassing
36   * is used for some elements in the first sequence and the {@code equals}
37   * method is specialized.
