/** A type-specific {@link Function}; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.
*
* Type-specific versions of get(), put() and
* remove() cannot rely on {@code null} to denote absence of
* a key. Rather, they return a {@linkplain #defaultReturnValue() default
* return value}, which is set to 0 cast to the return type (false
* for booleans) at creation, but can be changed using the
* defaultReturnValue() method.
*
*
For uniformity reasons, even maps returning objects implement the default
* return value (of course, in this case the default return value is
* initialized to {@code null}).
*
*
Warning: to fall in line as much as possible with the
* {@linkplain java.util.Map standard map interface}, it is strongly suggested
* that standard versions of get(), put() and
* remove() for maps with primitive-type values return
* {@code null} to denote missing keys rather than wrap the default
* return value in an object (of course, for maps with object keys and values
* this is not possible, as there is no type-specific version).
