/**
 * Decorates another <code>Map</code> returning a default value if the map
 * does not contain the requested key.
 * <p>
 * When the {@link #get(Object)} method is called with a key that does not
 * exist in the map, this map will return the default value specified in
 * the constructor/factory. Only the get method is altered, so the
 * {@link Map#containsKey(Object)} can be used to determine if a key really
 * is in the map or not.
 * <p>
 * The defaulted value is not added to the map.
 * Compare this behaviour with {@link LazyMap}, which does add the value
 * to the map (via a Transformer).
 * <p>
 * For instance:
 * <pre>
 * Map map = new DefaultedMap("NULL");
 * Object obj = map.get("Surname");
 * // obj == "NULL"
 * </pre>
 * After the above code is executed the map is still empty.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note that DefaultedMap 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. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
 * using {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap(Map)}. This class may throw 
 * exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
