Decorates a map of other maps to provide a single unified view.

Changes made to this map will actually be made on the decorated map.
Add and remove operations require the use of a pluggable strategy. If no
strategy is provided then add and remove are unsupported.

Note that CompositeMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. 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 Collections.synchronizedMap(Map<Object,Object>). This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

value of null does not necessarily indicate that the

operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.
