public abstract class ForwardingNavigableMap<K,V> extends ForwardingSortedMap<K,V> implements NavigableMap<K,V>
Warning: The methods of ForwardingNavigableMap forward indiscriminately
 to the methods of the delegate. For example, overriding ForwardingMap.put(K, V) alone will not
 change the behavior of ForwardingMap.putAll(java.util.Map<? extends K, ? extends V>), which can lead to unexpected behavior. In this case, you
 should override putAll as well, either providing your own implementation, or delegating
 to the provided standardPutAll method.
 
Each of the standard methods uses the map's comparator (or the natural ordering of
 the elements, if there is no comparator) to test element equality. As a result, if the comparator
 is not consistent with equals, some of the standard implementations may violate the Map
 contract.
 
The standard methods and the collection views they return are not guaranteed to be
 thread-safe, even when all of the methods that they depend on are thread-safe.
