How is that possible, the methods' signatures do not match:
  - Collection.add (G item) vs. Map.set (K key, V value)
  - Collection.contains (G item) vs. Map.contains (K key)
  - Collection.remove (K item) vs. Map.remove (K key)

Collection implements Iterable which provides this method: Iterator<G>
iterator () whereas it should be Iterator<Pair<K, V>> iterator () for Map.

I'm looking forward to your answers.
