* To provide for more terse code you can use a typedef {@link P1} class or various factory methods in
* {@link GridFunc} class. Note, however, that since typedefs in Java rely on inheritance you should
* not use these type aliases in signatures.
* <h2 class="header">Thread Safety</h2>
* Note that this interface does not impose or assume any specific thread-safety by its
* implementations. Each implementation can elect what type of thread-safety it provides,
* if any.
