A named domain object container is a specialisation of NamedDomainObjectSet that adds the ability to create instances of the element type.

Implementations may use different strategies for creating new object instances.

Note that a container is an implementation of SortedSet, which means that the container is guaranteed to only contain elements with unique names within this container. Furthermore, items are ordered by their name.

Parameters:
- The type of domain objects in this container.
