Sorry for the delay on this. I just committed jsr166 repo
version of CopyOnWriteArray{List,Set} that (among unrelated
changes) had different versions of some of these.
Before committing, I browsed through your webrev.
They appear to be functionally equivalent. However,
I had not included versions of overrides for in-place
updates in CopyOnWriteArrayList.SubList.
We don't override any bulk in-place update operations
(addAll, etc) in sub-lists (relying on slow defaults)
and discourage their use because they force a full
array copy/update even when applied to small sublists, which
will be arbitrarily slow even if "optimized".
I don't see why replace, removeIf, or sort should
be different.
