Which says "Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and ..."

Also any class that overrides Object equals must be symmetric (and
transitive etc).

Note that Map.Entry#equals returns false when compared against Pair;
it is compliant, even though it omits to repeat the Object contract in
its Javadoc.

It is Pair#equals that gets it wrong.
