This class gathers all the commands needed to transform one objects sequence into another objects sequence. 
 An edit script is the most general view of the differences between two sequences. It is built as the result of the comparison between two sequences by the SequencesComparator class. The user can walk through it using the visitor design pattern.
 It is guaranteed that the objects embedded in the insert
commands come from the second sequence and that the objects embedded in either the delete commands or keep
commands come from the first sequence. This can be important if subclassing is used for some elements in the first sequence and the equals
method is specialized.
