/**
* Decorates another Map returning a default value if the map
* does not contain the requested key.
*
* When the {@link #get(Object)} method is called with a key that does not
* exist in the map, this map will return the default value specified in
* the constructor/factory. Only the get method is altered, so the
* {@link Map#containsKey(Object)} can be used to determine if a key really
* is in the map or not.
*
* The defaulted value is not added to the map.
* Compare this behaviour with {@link LazyMap}, which does add the value
* to the map (via a Transformer).
*
* For instance:
*
* Map map = new DefaultedMap("NULL");
* Object obj = map.get("Surname");
* // obj == "NULL"
*
* After the above code is executed the map is still empty.
*
* Note that DefaultedMap 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.
