/**
 * A <code>Map</code> implementation that uses multiple keys to map the value.
 * <p>
 * This class is the most efficient way to uses multiple keys to map to a value.
 * The best way to use this class is via the additional map-style methods.
 * These provide <code>get</code>, <code>containsKey</code>, <code>put</code> and
 * <code>remove</code> for individual keys which operate without extra object creation.
 * <p>
 * The additional methods are the main interface of this map.
 * As such, you will not normally hold this map in a variable of type <code>Map</code>.
 * <p>
 * The normal map methods take in and return a {@link MultiKey}.
 * If you try to use <code>put()</code> with any other object type a
 * <code>ClassCastException</code> is thrown. If you try to use <code>null</code> as
 * the key in <code>put()</code> a <code>NullPointerException</code> is thrown.
 * <p>
 * This map is implemented as a decorator of a <code>AbstractHashedMap</code> which
 * enables extra behaviour to be added easily.
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>MultiKeyMap.decorate(new LinkedMap())</code> creates an ordered map.
 * <li><code>MultiKeyMap.decorate(new LRUMap())</code> creates an least recently used map.
 * <li><code>MultiKeyMap.decorate(new ReferenceMap())</code> creates a garbage collector sensitive map.
 * </ul>
 * Note that <code>IdentityMap</code> and <code>ReferenceIdentityMap</code> are unsuitable
 * for use as the key comparison would work on the whole MultiKey, not the elements within.
 * <p>
 * As an example, consider a least recently used cache that uses a String airline code
 * and a Locale to lookup the airline's name:
 * <pre>
 * private MultiKeyMap cache = MultiKeyMap.multiKeyMap(new LRUMap(50));
 *
 * public String getAirlineName(String code, String locale) {
 *   String name = (String) cache.get(code, locale);
 *   if (name == null) {
 *     name = getAirlineNameFromDB(code, locale);
 *     cache.put(code, locale, name);
 *   }
 *   return name;
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note that MultiKeyMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.</strong>
 * If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
 * appropriate synchronization. This class may throw exceptions when accessed
 * by concurrent threads without synchronization.
 *
 * @since 3.1
