Reports redundant calls to unmodifiable collection wrappers from the Collections class.

If the argument that is passed to an unmodifiable collection wrapper is already immutable, such a wrapping becomes redundant.

Example:

After the quick-fix is applied:

In order to detect the methods that return unmodifiable collections, the inspection uses the org.jetbrains.annotations.Unmodifiable and org.jetbrains.annotations.UnmodifiableView annotations. Use them to extend the inspection to your own unmodifiable collection wrappers.
