It's a fixed-size HashMap.
It overrides HashMap's put method to check if the
HashMap is full, and if it is it throws an exception.
It also has boolean isFull() method that returns true
when the HashMap's size() == maximum size of
BoundHashMap.
This won't help you directly, although it can serve as
an example for overriding HashMap's put method.
