I am used to choosing a map based on what I need, so not sure if I would use it immediately.

But looks very interesting at first. Needs a JIRA issue too (which is used for the changelog too).

Will take another look later. But fter a cursory look, code looks good.

Thanks for your contribution!

If it were just me, I would close it. I feel I am better served knowing what the JDK offers , what Commons Collection offers, and the difference. It feels like a solution in search of a problem. I don't see using this in code I write FWIW.
