Another useful method to add to Collections might
be a count method, to return the number of
instances of an object in a Collection / List:

  int count( List list, Object o )

This would return the number of entries, e,
in list where e.equals( o ) == true.

It could have a further option to provide a
Comparator to determine equality:

  int count( List list, Object o, Comparator c )
