* <p>
* The built-in Java Long class does not allow changing the value
* of the wrapped Long value once the Long object is created.
* MutableLong provides most of the same methods as Long but adds
* extra methods to allow changing the value of the stored long.
* This is useful when wrapping longs for storage in collection types
* since it is much more efficient to update the value of an existing
* MutableLong than to create a new Long every time the value
* changes.
