  class IMAP

    ##
    # An \IMAP sequence set is a set of message sequence numbers or unique
    # identifier numbers ("UIDs").  It contains numbers and ranges of numbers.
    # The numbers are all non-zero unsigned 32-bit integers and one special
    # value (<tt>"*"</tt>) that represents the largest value in the mailbox.
    #
    # Certain types of \IMAP responses will contain a SequenceSet, for example
    # the data for a <tt>"MODIFIED"</tt> ResponseCode.  Some \IMAP commands may
    # receive a SequenceSet as an argument, for example IMAP#search, IMAP#fetch,
    # and IMAP#store.
    #
    # == EXPERIMENTAL API
    #
    # SequenceSet is currently experimental.  Only two methods, ::[] and
    # #valid_string, are considered stable.  Although the API isn't expected to
    # change much, any other methods may be removed or changed without
    # deprecation.
    #
    # == Creating sequence sets
    #
    # SequenceSet.new with no arguments creates an empty sequence set.  Note
    # that an empty sequence set is invalid in the \IMAP grammar.
    #
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new
    #     set.empty?        #=> true
    #     set.valid?        #=> false
    #     set.valid_string  #!> raises DataFormatError
    #     set << 1..10
    #     set.empty?        #=> false
    #     set.valid?        #=> true
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:10"
    #
    # SequenceSet.new may receive a single optional argument: a non-zero 32 bit
    # unsigned integer, a range, a <tt>sequence-set</tt> formatted string,
    # another sequence set, or an enumerable containing any of these.
    #
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1)
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1..100)
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:100"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1...100)
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:99"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new([1, 2, 5..])
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:2,5:*"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new("1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024")
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet.new(1, 2, 3..7, 5, 6..10, 2048, 1024)
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:10,55,1024:2048"
    #
    # Use ::[] with one or more arguments to create a frozen SequenceSet.  An
    # invalid (empty) set cannot be created with ::[].
    #
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"]
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1,2,3:7,5,6:10,2048,1024"
    #     set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1, 2, [3..7, 5], 6..10, 2048, 1024]
    #     set.valid_string  #=> "1:10,55,1024:2048"
    #
    # == Ordered and Normalized sets
    #
    # Sometimes the order of the set's members is significant, such as with the
    # +ESORT+, <tt>CONTEXT=SORT</tt>, and +UIDPLUS+ extensions.  So, when a
    # sequence set is created by the parser or with a single string value, that
    # #string representation is preserved.
    #
    # Internally, SequenceSet stores a normalized representation which sorts all
    # entries, de-duplicates numbers, and coalesces adjacent or overlapping
    # ranges.  Most methods use this normalized representation to achieve
    # <tt>O(lg n)</tt> porformance.  Use #entries or #each_entry to enumerate
    # the set in its original order.
    #
    # Most modification methods convert #string to its normalized form.  To
    # preserve #string order while modifying a set, use #append, #string=, or
    # #replace.
    #
    # == Using <tt>*</tt>
    #
    # \IMAP sequence sets may contain a special value <tt>"*"</tt>, which
    # represents the largest number in use.  From +seq-number+ in
    # {RFC9051 §9}[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9051.html#section-9-5]:
    # >>>
    #   In the case of message sequence numbers, it is the number of messages
    #   in a non-empty mailbox.  In the case of unique identifiers, it is the
    #   unique identifier of the last message in the mailbox or, if the
    #   mailbox is empty, the mailbox's current UIDNEXT value.
    #
    # When creating a SequenceSet, <tt>*</tt> may be input as <tt>-1</tt>,
    # <tt>"*"</tt>, <tt>:*</tt>, an endless range, or a range ending in
    # <tt>-1</tt>.  When converting to #elements, #ranges, or #numbers, it will
    # output as either <tt>:*</tt> or an endless range.  For example:
    #
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,3,*"].to_a      #=> [1, 3, :*]
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1,234:*"].to_a    #=> [1, 234..]
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..-1].to_a     #=> [1234..]
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..].to_a       #=> [1234..]
    #
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..].to_s       #=> "1234:*"
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1234..-1].to_s     #=> "1234:*"
    #
    # Use #limit to convert <tt>"*"</tt> to a maximum value.  When a range
    # includes <tt>"*"</tt>, the maximum value will always be matched:
    #
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["9999:*"].limit(max: 25)
    #   #=> Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["25"]
    #
    # === Surprising <tt>*</tt> behavior
    #
    # When a set includes <tt>*</tt>, some methods may have surprising behavior.
    #
    # For example, #complement treats <tt>*</tt> as its own number.  This way,
    # the #intersection of a set and its #complement will always be empty.
    # This is not how an \IMAP server interprets the set: it will convert
    # <tt>*</tt> to either the number of messages in the mailbox or +UIDNEXT+,
    # as appropriate.  And there _will_ be overlap between a set and its
    # complement after #limit is applied to each:
    #
    #   ~Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["*"]  == Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..(2**32-1)]
    #   ~Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..5] == Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["6:*"]
    #
    #   set = Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..5]
    #   (set & ~set).empty? => true
    #
    #   (set.limit(max: 4) & (~set).limit(max: 4)).to_a => [4]
    #
    # When counting the number of numbers in a set, <tt>*</tt> will be counted
    # _except_ when UINT32_MAX is also in the set:
    #   UINT32_MAX = 2**32 - 1
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["*"].count                   => 1
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[1..UINT32_MAX - 1, :*].count => UINT32_MAX
    #
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet["1:*"].count                 => UINT32_MAX
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[UINT32_MAX, :*].count        => 1
    #   Net::IMAP::SequenceSet[UINT32_MAX..].count          => 1
    #
