Where the method in a Utils class is a decorator, the naming pattern
-yyyedXxx shall be used, such as synchronizedMap(Map) or
-predicatedSet(Set). Typically, these decorators should be
-implemented as non-public, static, inner classes; however, if warranted due to
-maintenance or other reasons, these decorator classes may be moved to top-level
-classes in a subpackage. The naming of such a subpackage should be discussed
-and agreed upon on the developers mailing list.
Where the method in a Utils class is a decorator, the name shall consist of
+an adjective followed by the collection type. Typically such adjective is
+formed by appending an -ed suffix (meaning "having"/"characterized by") to the
+word describing the type of decorator. For example,
+synchronizedMap(Map) or predicatedSet(Set).
+Occasionally, such construct is awkward and a more suitable adjective can be
+used instead. For example, lazyList,
+unmodifiableList.
