/** 
 * <p>This <code>Map</code> wraps another <code>Map</code>
 * implementation, using the wrapped instance for its default
 * implementation.  This class is used as a framework on which to
 * build to extensions for its wrapped <code>Map</code> object which
 * would be unavailable or inconvenient via sub-classing (but usable
 * via composition).</p>
 * 
 * <p>This implementation does not perform any special processing with
 * {@link #entrySet()}, {@link #keySet()} or {@link #values()}. Instead
 * it simply returns the set/collection from the wrapped map. This may be
 * undesirable, for example if you are trying to write a validating
 * implementation it would provide a loophole around the validation. But,
 * you might want that loophole, so this class is kept simple.</p>
 *
 * @deprecated Moved to map subpackage as AbstractMapDecorator. It will be removed in v4.0.
