>          Components: Map
>            Reporter: Michael Thomas

> The {{LimitedSizeFifoMap}} never exceeds a given element limit by deleting old entries, whenever new ones are inserted. It may be of use for caches holding memory-intense objects (it is for me, anyway).
> The patch contains:
> * the interface {{LimitedSizeMap}}
> * the fully documented implementation {{LimitedSizeFifoMap}}, which deletes the oldest items first
> * the accompanying unit test
> If you find anything that needs improvement, please let me know.
