/**
 * This class consists of {@code static} utility methods for operating
 * on objects, or checking certain conditions before operation.  These utilities
 * include {@code null}-safe or {@code null}-tolerant methods for computing the
 * hash code of an object, returning a string for an object, comparing two
 * objects, and checking if indexes or sub-range values are out-of-bounds.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * Static methods such as {@link Objects#checkIndex},
 * {@link Objects#checkFromToIndex}, and {@link Objects#checkFromIndexSize} are
 * provided for the convenience of checking if values corresponding to indexes
 * and sub-ranges are out-of-bounds.
 * Variations of these static methods support customization of the runtime
 * exception, and corresponding exception detail message, that is thrown when
 * values are out-of-bounds.  Such methods accept a functional interface
 * argument, instances of {@code BiFunction}, that maps out-of-bound values to a
 * runtime exception.  Care should be taken when using such methods in
 * combination with an argument that is a lambda expression, method reference or
 * class that capture values.  In such cases the cost of capture, related to
 * functional interface allocation, may exceed the cost of checking bounds.

     * given exception factory to produce and relay an exception.
     *
     * <p>The exception formatter accepts two arguments: a {@code String}
     * describing the out-of-bounds range check that failed, referred to as the
     * <em>check kind</em>; and a {@code List<Integer>} containing the
     * out-of-bound integer values that failed the check.  The list of
     * out-of-bound values is not modified.
     *
     * <p>Three check kinds are supported {@code checkIndex},
     * {@code checkFromToIndex} and {@code checkFromIndexSize} corresponding
     * respectively to the specified application of an exception formatter as an
     * argument to the out-of-bounds range check methods

     * order, preceding the exception formatter argument (similar in many
     * respects to the form of arguments required for a reflective invocation of
     * such a range check method).
     *
     * <p>Formatter arguments conforming to such supported check kinds will
     * produce specific exception messages describing failed out-of-bounds
     * checks.  Otherwise, more generic exception messages will be produced in
     * any of the following cases: the check kind is supported but fewer
     * or more out-of-bounds values are supplied, the check kind is not
     * supported, the check kind is {@code null}, or the list of out-of-bound
     * values is {@code null}.
     *
     * @apiNote
     * This method produces an out-of-bounds exception formatter that can be
     * passed as an argument to any of the supported out-of-bounds range check
     * methods declared by {@code Objects}.  For example, a formatter producing
     * an {@code ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException} may be produced and stored on a
     * {@code static final} field as follows:
     * <pre>{@code
     * static final
     * BiFunction<String, List<Integer>, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException> AIOOBEF =

     * <pre>{@code
     * checkIndex(index, limit, AIOOBEF);
     * }</pre>
     * If the bounds check fails then the range check method will throw an
     * {@code ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException} with an appropriate exception
     * message that is a produced from {@code AIOOBEF} as follows:

     *        free then so is the returned formatter.
     *        Exceptions thrown by the factory are relayed to the caller
     *        of the returned formatter.
