It is guaranteed 029 * that the comparisons will always be done as <code>o1.equals(o2)</code> where 030 * <code>o1</code> belongs to the first sequence and <code>o2</code> belongs to 031 * the second sequence. This can be important if subclassing is used for some 032 * elements in the first sequence and the <code>equals</code> method is 033 * specialized. 034 * <p> 035 * Comparison can be seen from two points of view: either as giving the smallest 036 * modification allowing to transform the first sequence into the second one, or 037 * as giving the longest sequence which is a subsequence of both initial 038 * sequences. The <code>equals</code> method is used to compare objects, so any 039 * object can be put into sequences.
