FWIW, there are at least two Jakarta products that I'm involved in (Tomcat and Struts) that have exactly the path-mapping use case that was described for the Trie class. And, conveniently, they both already dependd on [collections] so it would be very convenient to have Trie added here.
It will be very interesting to experiment with the relative speed of using a Trie in these cases versus the current algorithms (which clearly need some optimizations). So, an inactive-committer (to collections) +1 from me for including this.
