/**
 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the <tt>Map</tt>
 * interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.
 *
 * <p>To implement an unmodifiable map, the programmer needs only to extend this
 * class and provide an implementation for the <tt>entrySet</tt> method, which
 * returns a set-view of the map's mappings.  Typically, the returned set
 * will, in turn, be implemented atop <tt>AbstractSet</tt>.  This set should
 * not support the <tt>add</tt> or <tt>remove</tt> methods, and its iterator
 * should not support the <tt>remove</tt> method.
 *
 * <p>To implement a modifiable map, the programmer must additionally override
 * this class's <tt>put</tt> method (which otherwise throws an
 * <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt>), and the iterator returned by
 * <tt>entrySet().iterator()</tt> must additionally implement its
 * <tt>remove</tt> method.
 *
 * <p>The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and map
 * constructor, as per the recommendation in the <tt>Map</tt> interface
 * specification.
 *
 * <p>The documentation for each non-abstract method in this class describes its
 * implementation in detail.  Each of these methods may be overridden if the
 * map being implemented admits a more efficient implementation.
 *
 * <p>This class is a member of the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">
 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
 *
 * @param <K> the type of keys maintained by this map
 * @param <V> the type of mapped values
