Sebb commented on COLLECTIONS-461:
----------------------------------
bq. Is the issue that TransformedMap is still named *Map?
No, the problem here is that the "real" Map classes are compromised because
Put#put(K, V) returns Object rather than V.
The Put interface is not exactly the same as the "write" subset of
java.util.Map.
> splitmap.TransformedMap is not really a Map

>
> splitmap.TransformedMap is part of the Get/Put hierarchy, but it does not
> behave like a proper Java Map.
> In particular, java.util.Map.put(K, V) returns V.
> However the collections Put interface returns Object.
> As far as I can tell, this was done in order to be able to include
> TransformedMap in the hiearchy. But the side effect is to break the generics
> for all the non-transformer maps in the hierarchy.
> Maybe there should be a separate PutTransformed interface which has the
> appropriate generic types, i.e.
> public T put(K key, V value)
