I want to make it 100% equals to `new HashMap()` constructor, thus migrate all usecases. So if we apply this, and when the original usage use this map object as a lock, or put some elements after the call(sometimes people cannot decide if they would really put elements in this map), bad things would happen. Besides, there already a function` Map.of()` for such functionality, so programmer should use that instead if they really want a shared empty map. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7928
