MapValueSet<K, V> class

Creates a modifiable Set view of the values of a Map.

The Set view assumes that the keys of the Map can be uniquely determined from the values. The keyForValue function passed to the constructor finds the key for a single value. The keyForValue function should be consistent with equality. If value1 == value2 then keyForValue(value1) and keyForValue(value2) should be considered equal keys by the underlying map, and vice versa.

Modifying the set will modify the underlying map based on the key returned by keyForValue.

If the Map contents are not compatible with the keyForValue function, the set will not work consistently, and may give meaningless responses or do inconsistent updates.

This set can, for example, be used on a map from database record IDs to the records. It exposes the records as a set, and allows for writing both recordSet.add(databaseRecord) and recordMap[id].

Effectively, the map will act as a kind of index for the set.
