Benjamin Bentmann updated COLLECTIONS-294:
------------------------------------------
Attachment: COLLECTIONS-294-CaseInsensitiveMap.patch
Yes, you're right, the map thing is trickier than I realized. Attached is a new
patch that makes key comparisons behave as {{equalsIgnoreCase()}} would do
(watch out for the extended unit test that fails when using
{{String.toLowerCase()}} in {{convertKey()}}).
A question that pops up is whether {{CaseInsensitiveMap}} should have been
case-preserving for keys, i.e. store keys in their original case but compare
case-insensitively. I mean, there seem to be two different use cases involved
here:
# case-insentive key lookup, i.e. {{map.get("key") == map.get("KEY")}} but
possibly {{map.keySet().contains("Key")}}
# automatic key normalization to lower/upper case to provide a specific key set
view
