Defines a map that is bounded in size.

The size of the map can vary, but it can never exceed a preset
maximum number of elements. This interface allows the querying of details
associated with the maximum number of elements.
Type parameters:
<K> – the type of the keys in this map
<V> – the type of the values in this map
Since:
3.0/**
