trait DefaultMap

[source: scala/collection/DefaultMap.scala]

trait DefaultMap[A, +B]
extends Map[A, B]

A default map which implements the updated and - methods of maps.
Instances that inherit from DefaultMap[A, B] still have to define:

    def get(key: A): Option[B]
    def iterator: Iterator[(A, B)]

It refers back to the original map.

It might also be advisable to override foreach or size if efficient implementations can be found.

Method Summary
override def + [B1 >: B](kv : (A, B1)) : Map[A, B1]
A default implementation which creates a new immutable map.
override def - (key : A) : Map[A, B]
A default implementation which creates a new immutable map.
