/**
 * Interface {@code PrintRequestAttributeSet} specifies the interface for a set
 * of print request attributes, i.e. printing attributes that implement
 * interface {@link PrintRequestAttribute PrintRequestAttribute}. The client
 * uses a {@code PrintRequestAttributeSet} to specify the settings to be applied
 * to a whole print job and to all the docs in the print job.
 * <p>
 * {@code PrintRequestAttributeSet} is just an {@link AttributeSet AttributeSet}
 * whose constructors and mutating operations guarantee an additional invariant,
 * namely that all attribute values in the {@code PrintRequestAttributeSet} must
 * be instances of interface
 * {@link PrintRequestAttribute PrintRequestAttribute}. The
 * {@link #add(Attribute) add(Attribute)}, and
 * {@link #addAll(AttributeSet) addAll(AttributeSet)} operations are respecified
 * below to guarantee this additional invariant.
