Mark	A class used when marking objects as used, visited, etc.
MessageQueue	A queue for messages between threads.
MinMax	Holds long min and max values.
MultiHashMap	A MultiHashMap is (by weak analogy with "multiset") a HashMap that maps each key to a collection of values.
Name	Wrapper for relatively short strings used as names.
NameMapper	Maps both ways between short and long names.
ObjectComparator	Provides a total ordering for arbitrary objects.
ObjectCopier	Copies Objects.
