/**
 * Decorates another <code>SortedBag to transform objects that are added.
 * <p>
 * The add methods are affected by this class.
 * Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form.
 * For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must
 * use the Integer form to remove objects.

 * This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
