public class KeyedCollection<K,V>
extends java.util.AbstractCollection<V>
A KeyedCollection is a light weight wrapper around a Map (LinkedHashMap) values set.
When a value is added using the add method of this class a key is obtained for
the value using either the provided KeyExtractor, or if no KeyExtractor was
provided, the value is cast to Keyable and the getKey() method is called.
The underlying Map can be obtainded with the toMap method. Any changes to this
map are directly reflected in this collection. Additions to the map do not
need to implement Keyable, nor do the values need to be keyed using the key
returned from the KeyExtractor.getKey(value) or the key returned from the
Keyable.getKey() Method.
