/**
 * A case-insensitive {@code Map}.
 * <p>
 * Before keys are added to the map or compared to other existing keys, they are converted
 * to all lowercase in a locale-independent fashion by using information from the Unicode
 * data file.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Null keys are supported.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The {@code keySet()} method returns all lowercase keys, or nulls.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * </p>
 * <pre><code>
 *  Map&lt;String, String&gt; map = new CaseInsensitiveMap&lt;String, String&gt;();
 *  map.put("One", "One");
 *  map.put("Two", "Two");
 *  map.put(null, "Three");
 *  map.put("one", "Four");
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * The example above creates a {@code CaseInsensitiveMap} with three entries.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@code map.get(null)} returns {@code "Three"} and {@code map.get("ONE")}
 * returns {@code "Four".}  The {@code Set} returned by {@code keySet()}
 * equals {@code {"one", "two", null}.}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>This map will violate the detail of various Map and map view contracts.</strong>
 * As a general rule, don't compare this map to other maps. In particular, you can't
 * use decorators like {@link ListOrderedMap} on it, which silently assume that these
 * contracts are fulfilled.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note that CaseInsensitiveMap 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.
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <K> the type of the keys in this map
 * @param <V> the type of the values in this map
 * @since 3.0
