/**
 * This package contains implementations of the {@link java.util.Map Map},
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.IterableMap IterableMap},
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.OrderedMap OrderedMap} and
 * {@link java.util.SortedMap SortedMap} interfaces.
 * A Map provides a lookup from a key to a value.
 * A number of implementations also support the new MapIterator interface that enables
 * simple iteration of map keys and values.
 * 
 * The following implementations are provided:
 * 

 *   CaseInsensitiveMap - map that compares keys in a case insensitive way
 *   
CompositeMap - map that combines multiple maps into a single view
 *   
HashedMap - general purpose HashMap replacement supporting MapIterator
 *   
Flat3Map - designed for good performance at size 3 or less
 *   
LinkedMap - a hash map that maintains insertion order, supporting OrderedMapIterator
 *   
LRUMap - a hash map that maintains a maximum size by removing the least recently used entries
 *   
MultiKeyMap - map that provides special methods for using more than one key to access the value
 *   
ReferenceMap - allows the garbage collector to collect keys and values using equals() for comparison
 *   
ReferenceIdentityMap - allows the garbage collector to collect keys and values using == for comparison
 *   
SingletonMap - a fully featured map to hold one key-value pair
 *   
StaticBucketMap - internally synchronized and designed for thread-contentious environments
 * 
 * 
 * The following decorators are provided:
 * 

 *   Unmodifiable - ensures the collection cannot be altered
 *   
Predicated - ensures that only elements that are valid according to a predicate can be added
 *   
Transformed - transforms each element added
 *   
FixedSize - ensures that the size of the map cannot change
 *   
Defaulted - provides default values for non-existing keys
 *   
Lazy - creates objects in the map on demand
 *   
ListOrdered - ensures that insertion order is retained
 *
