/**
 * A concurrent map which forwards all its method calls to another concurrent map. Subclasses should
 * override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing map as desired per the <a
 * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern">decorator pattern</a>.
 *
 * <p><b>{@code default} method warning:</b> This class forwards calls to <i>only some</i> {@code
 * default} methods. Specifically, it forwards calls only for methods that existed <a
 * href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentMap.html">before
 * {@code default} methods were introduced</a>. For newer methods, like {@code forEach}, it inherits
 * their default implementations. When those implementations invoke methods, they invoke methods on
 * the {@code ForwardingConcurrentMap}.
