   * This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of
   * the sort that commonly exist for arrays).   Any operation that expects
   * a list can be used as a range operation by passing a subList view

   * the backing list (i.e., this list) is <i>structurally modified</i> in
   * any way other than via the returned list.  (Structural modifications are
   * those that change the size of this list, or otherwise perturb it in such
   * a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)
