remove
Removes from this filter all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection. All element contained in the specified collection must be contained in the filter prior to invocation.
If false is returned, this is definitely an indication that the specified collection contained elements that were not contained in this filter prior to invocation, and this filter can no longer be relied upon to return correct false responses from contains, unless isEmpty is also true.
Some elements of c may have been removed from the filter even when false is returned. In this case, the caller may add the additions by comparing the filter sizeLong before and after the invocation, knowing that removals from
c occurred in c's iteration order.
Return
true if all of the elements of the specified collection were successfully removed from the filter, false if any of the elements was not successfully removed
