Returns a view of the portion of {@code set} whose elements are contained by {@code range}.

<p>This method delegates to the appropriate methods of {@link NavigableSet} (namely {@link
NavigableSet#subSet(Object, boolean, Object, boolean) subSet()}, {@link
NavigableSet#tailSet(Object, boolean) tailSet()}, and {@link NavigableSet#headSet(Object,
boolean) headSet()}) to actually construct the view. Consult these methods for a full
description of the returned view's behavior.

<p><b>Warning:</b> {@code Range}s always represent a range of values using the values' natural
ordering. {@code NavigableSet} on the other hand can specify a custom ordering via a {@link
Comparator}, which can violate the natural ordering. Using this method (or in general using
{@code Range}) with unnaturally-ordered sets can lead to unexpected and undefined behavior.

@since 20.0
Returns a view of the portion of { @code set } whose elements are contained by { @code range } .
