Hi all,
It is found TreeMap.putAll method may or may not invoke
TreeMap.put method based on parameter. If TreeMap is extended and the
put method is override, it may behave different from what is expected.
This behavior should be documented.
The following test case tries to putAll a hashamp and a treemap in
a class extended from TreeMap.
