<pre style='color:#555'>> +    /**
+     * Returns a list of all possible permutations of a give sorted list ignoring duplicates.
+     * E.g. List [A,B,C] results in this list of permutations: [[A], [B], [A,B], [C], [A,C], [B,C], [A,B,C]]
+     * Number of variations and iterations grows with 2^n - 1 where n is the number of items in the list.
+     * With 20 items we reach about 1 million iterations and it takes about 0.5 sec.
+     * To avoid performance issues we added the maxIterations parameter to stop once the number of iterations has
+     * reached the maxIterations and return in such a case the list of permutations we have been able to create.
+     * Depending on the type of object which is stored in the list the memory usage should to be considered as well for
+     * choosing the right maxIterations value.
+     *
+     * @param list              List from which we create permutations
+     * @param maxIterations     Max. number of iterations including inner iterations
+     * @param <T>               Type of list items
+     * @return List of possible permutations of the original list

<p>Yes agree. Not trivial though to optimize it in that direction...</p>
