/**
 * This class provides a red-black tree implementation of the SortedMap
 * interface.  Elements in the Map will be sorted by either a user-provided
 * Comparator object, or by the natural ordering of the keys.
 *
 * The algorithms are adopted from Corman, Leiserson, and Rivest's
 * <i>Introduction to Algorithms.</i>  TreeMap guarantees O(log n)
 * insertion and deletion of elements.  That being said, there is a large
 * enough constant coefficient in front of that "log n" (overhead involved
 * in keeping the tree balanced), that TreeMap may not be the best choice
 * for small collections. If something is already sorted, you may want to
 * just use a LinkedHashMap to maintain the order while providing O(1) access.
 *
 * TreeMap is a part of the JDK1.2 Collections API.  Null keys are allowed
 * only if a Comparator is used which can deal with them; natural ordering
 * cannot cope with null.  Null values are always allowed. Note that the
 * ordering must be <i>consistent with equals</i> to correctly implement
 * the Map interface. If this condition is violated, the map is still
 * well-behaved, but you may have suprising results when comparing it to
 * other maps.<p>
 *
 * This implementation is not synchronized. If you need to share this between
 * multiple threads, do something like:<br>
 * <code>SortedMap m
 *       = Collections.synchronizedSortedMap(new TreeMap(...));</code><p>
 *
 * The iterators are <i>fail-fast</i>, meaning that any structural
 * modification, except for <code>remove()</code> called on the iterator
 * itself, cause the iterator to throw a
 * <code>ConcurrentModificationException</code> rather than exhibit
 * non-deterministic behavior.
