Does ArrayDeque support to change element by arbitrary index? If not, it not easy to change the impl by one line since the replaceAtIndex() need to change the element in pipeline.
BTW, could we change the impl of "readOnlyCopy" from LinkedList to ArrayList? Most ops to readOnlyCopy are iteration, and the getLast can be replaced by size() and get(index).
