 Slides a non-overlapping window of a variable size over this Traversable.
 Each window contains elements with the same class, as determined by classifier. Two consecutive values in this Traversable will be in the same window only if classifier returns equal values for them. Otherwise, the values will constitute the last element of the previous window and the first element of the next window.
 Examples:
```
 [].slideBy(Function.identity()) = []
 [1,2,3,4,4,5].slideBy(Function.identity()) = [[1],[2],[3],[4,4],[5]]
 [1,2,3,10,12,5,7,20,29].slideBy(x -> x/10) = [[1,2,3],[10,12],[5,7],[20,29]]
 
```
 Specified by:
 
 slideBy in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 classifier - A function which classifies elements into classes
 
 Returns:
 
 A new Iterator of windows of the grouped elements
 - sliding
```
Iterator<? extends Multimap<K,V>> sliding(int size)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Slides a window of a specific size and step size 1 over this Traversable by calling Traversable.sliding(int, int).
 
 Specified by:
 
 sliding in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 size - a positive window size
 
 Returns:
 
 a new Iterator of windows of a specific size using step size 1
 - sliding
```
Iterator<? extends Multimap<K,V>> sliding(int size,
 int step)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 Slides a window of a specific size and step size over this Traversable.
 Examples:
```
 
 [].sliding(1,1) = []
 [1,2,3,4,5].sliding(2,3) = [[1,2],[4,5]]
 [1,2,3,4,5].sliding(2,4) = [[1,2],[5]]
 [1,2,3,4,5].sliding(2,5) = [[1,2]]
 [1,2,3,4].sliding(5,3) = [[1,2,3,4],[4]]
 
 
```
 Specified by:
 
 sliding in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 size - a positive window size
 
 step - a positive step size
 
 Returns:
 
 a new Iterator of windows of a specific size using a specific step size
 - span
```
Tuple2<? extends Multimap<K,V>,? extends Multimap<K,V>> span(Predicate<? super Tuple2<K,V>> predicate)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Returns a tuple where the first element is the longest prefix of elements that satisfy the given predicate and the second element is the remainder.
 
 Specified by:
 
 span in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - A predicate.
 
 Returns:
 
 a Tuple containing the longest prefix of elements that satisfy p and the remainder.
 - tail
```
Multimap<K,V> tail()
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Drops the first element of a non-empty Traversable.
 
 Specified by:
 
 tail in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Returns:
 
 A new instance of Traversable containing all elements except the first.
 - tailOption
```
Option<? extends Multimap<K,V>> tailOption()
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Drops the first element of a non-empty Traversable and returns an Option.
 
 Specified by:
 
 tailOption in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Returns:
 
 Some(traversable) or None if this is empty.
 - take
```
Multimap<K,V> take(int n)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Takes the first n elements of this or all elements, if this length < n.
 The result is equivalent to sublist(0, max(0, min(length(), n))) but does not throw if n < 0 or n > length().
 In the case of n < 0 the empty instance is returned, in the case of n > length() this is returned.
 
 Specified by:
 
 take in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 n - The number of elements to take.
 
 Returns:
 
 A new instance consisting of the first n elements of this or all elements, if this has less than n elements.
 - takeRight
```
Multimap<K,V> takeRight(int n)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Takes the last n elements of this or all elements, if this length < n.
 The result is equivalent to sublist(max(0, min(length(), length() - n)), n), i.e. takeRight will not throw if n < 0 or n > length().
 In the case of n < 0 the empty instance is returned, in the case of n > length() this is returned.
 
 Specified by:
 
 takeRight in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 n - The number of elements to take.
 
 Returns:
 
 A new instance consisting of the last n elements of this or all elements, if this has less than n elements.
 - takeUntil
```
Multimap<K,V> takeUntil(Predicate<? super Tuple2<K,V>> predicate)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Takes elements until the predicate holds for the current element.
 Note: This is essentially the same as takeWhile(predicate.negate()). It is intended to be used with method references, which cannot be negated directly.
 
 Specified by:
 
 takeUntil in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - A condition tested subsequently for this elements.
 
 Returns:
 
 a new instance consisting of all elements before the first one which does satisfy the given predicate.
 - takeWhile
```
Multimap<K,V> takeWhile(Predicate<? super Tuple2<K,V>> predicate)
```
 Description copied from interface: Traversable
 
 Takes elements while the predicate holds for the current element.
 
 Specified by:
 
 takeWhile in interface Traversable<Tuple2<K,V>>
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - A condition tested subsequently for the contained elements.
 
 Returns:
 
 a new instance consisting of all elements before the first one which does not satisfy the given predicate.
