/**
 * An abstract implementation of a {@link Set} wrapper
 * designed to convert between the encapsulated set element type and
 * an externally visible type. The wrapper is optionally synchronized via a sync
 * object or {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.ReadWriteLock} passed into the
 * constructor using a {@link SyncStrategy}.
 *
 * <p>If the set is synchronized, the sync object must be externally locked while
 * the iterator is in use. Otherwise, a {@link java.lang.IllegalStateException} will
 * be thrown.</p>
 *
 * <p>The actual list is provided to the abstract implementation by
 * overriding and returning it from the {@link #set} method.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link #convert} and {@link #unconvert} abstract methods are used to
 * convert between the internal set element type and the external type.</p>
 *
 * <p>When using the {@link #unconvert} method, a {@link ClassCastException} can be
 * thrown to indicate the value cannot be converted. The exception is caught and handled
 * where it is appropriate to do so.</p>
