New Candidate JEP: 431: Sequenced Collections

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state:

  431: Sequenced Collections
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/431

  Summary: Introduce new interfaces to represent collections with a
  defined encounter order. Each such collection has a well-defined first
  element, second element, and so forth, up to the last element. It also
  provides uniform APIs for accessing its first and last elements, and
  for processing its elements in reverse order.

A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by
the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any
particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the
Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a
specific release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states, see
the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.org/jeps/1

A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the
Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted
JDK Project release.

A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this
page:
