That's not what I meant, but actually it does :) My getVar() method
throws an UnknownVariableException and in order to maintain that API I
would have to make the Map's get() method also throw that Exception.
Only you can't do that.
So if implement the Map interface (or expose it) then you run the risk
of another class just calling get() instead of getVar() and bypassing
my
strict variable check.
Unless the new exception was a subclass of RuntimeException :)
