Subject: Strange changes in java.util.Map.

Previously, java.util.Map.get had the signature:
  public V get(Object key);
In the new 2.0 prototype compiler, it has the signature
  public V get(K key);
in both oldcollect.jar and collect.jar, but the remove method still has
the signature
  public V remove(Object key);
This is very strange, to say the least.  One or the other of these
signatures is certainly a bug.  Which is it?

[if the get() signature stays as it is, all my GJ code will need massive
re-writing, because I often subclass or implement java.util.Map.  Not that
that's an argument one way or another.  It's just a frustration. =) ]

The change was accidental.  I'll be sure to change this back to

	get(Object)

in the next prototype.

Since you have all the collections sources included with the prototype,
you can do it yourself for your own use.
