Javadoc: incorrect behavior explained for ListUtils.transformedList
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COLLECTIONS-288
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-288
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: List
            Reporter: Paul Benedict
             Fix For: 3.3


The contract stated for ListUtils.transformedList is wrong. The list is not 
transformed -- it decorates the existing list and transforms NEW objects -- 
EXISTING objects are not transformed. 

Compare this to the javadoc found in MapUtils.transformedMap:
"This method returns a new map (decorating the specified map) that will 
transform any new entries added to it. Existing entries in the specified map 
will not be transformed. "

That little missing piece of information messed me up. Just replace "map" with 
"list" and append it to the existing LilstUtils javadoc.
