Returns an immutable sorted set containing the given elements sorted by the given {@code
Comparator}. When multiple elements are equivalent according to {@code compare()}, only the
first one specified is included. This method iterates over {@code elements} at most once.

<p>Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is
safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are
undocumented and subject to change.

@throws NullPointerException if {@code comparator} or any of {@code elements} is null
