Map could not derive from Collection, but yet it can define a method to return a Collection of Entries: public Collection<Map.Entries<K, V>> get_entries (); I propose that we define a special container Entries, with special properties "key" and "value", and not that we reuse Pair which would have some generically-named properties "e1" and "e2" (or element1, element2).
