/**
* Decorates another Map to create objects in the map on demand.
*
* When the {@link #get(Object)} method is called with a key that does not
* exist in the map, the factory is used to create the object. The created
* object will be added to the map using the requested key.
*
* For instance:
*
* Factory<Date> factory = new Factory<Date>() {
* public Date create() {
* return new Date();
* }
* }
* Map<String, Date> lazy = LazyMap.lazyMap(new HashMap<String, Date>(), factory);
* Date date = lazy.get("NOW");
*
*
* After the above code is executed, date will refer to
* a new Date instance. Furthermore, that Date
* instance is mapped to the "NOW" key in the map.
*
* Note that LazyMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.
* If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
* appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
* using {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap(Map)}. This class may throw
* exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
*
* This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
*
* @param the type of the keys in this map
* @param the type of the values in this map
