package it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.longs;
An abstract class providing basic methods for functions implementing a
type-specific interface.
 This class handles directly a default return value (including methods to access it). Instances of classes inheriting from this class have just to return defRetValue to denote lack of a key in type-specific methods. The value is serialized. 
 Implementing subclasses have just to provide type-specific get(), type-specific containsKey(), and size() methods. /**
