Description
The following methods should be added to Collection/List:

Iterable.forEach(Block<T>).  Default in Iterable, override in ArrayList, Vector, and COWAL.  
Collection.removeAll(Predicate<T>). Better implementations in ArrayList, Vector and COWAL.
List.sort(Comparator).  Default calls Collections.sort; Better implementations in ArrayList, Vector and COWAL.
List.replaceAll(UnaryOperator<T>).  Better version in ArrayList, Vector and COWAL.
