I'm fixing this along with a couple intertwined issues. 1. Add Map.Entry::copyOf as an idempotent copy operation.
2. Clarify that AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry is itself unmodifiable (not really immutable) but that subclasses can be modifiable. 3. Clarify some confusing, historical wording about Map.Entry instances being obtainable only via iteration of a Map's entry-set view. This was never really true, since anyone could implement the Map.Entry interface, and it certainly was not true since JDK 1.6 when SimpleEntry and SimpleImmutableEntry were added. ------------- Commit messages: - More spec and test tweaks. - Fix up tests. - Spec wordsmithing. - Update specs.
