Michael Thomas updated COLLECTIONS-347:
---------------------------------------

    Description: 
The {{LimitedSizeFifoMap}} never exceeds a given element limit by deleting old 
entries, whenever new ones are inserted. It may be of use for caches holding 
memory-intense objects (it is for me, anyway).

The patch contains:
* the interface {{LimitedSizeMap}}
* the fully documented implementation {{LimitedSizeFifoMap}}, which deletes the 
oldest items first
* the accompanying unit test

If you find anything that needs improvement, please let me know.
