public interface Pair<L,​R>
A pair of elements.

This inferface gives access to a pair of elements <l, r>, where l is the left element and r is the right element. Mutability is optional.

Since pairs have many different interpretation depending on the context, this interface offers alternative but equivalent access methods based on first/second and key/value. All such methods have default implementations that delegates to the standard methods. Implementations need only to provide left() and right(), and possibly left(Object) and right(Object) for mutability.

Setters return the instance, and are thus chainable. You can write

 pair.left(0).right(1)
 
and, if necessary, pass this value to a method.
