We have the option to enforce String keys if we want to break BC.  Currently the class uses String.valueOf(key) to accept other types. Personally I can't see myself ever using this class so I really don't care.  ;)  I won't worry about having offended the original authors with such a statement because it appears (judging from order of @author tags) that they are all guys who have long since moved on from Commons (Java?).

When I went through the [collections] code I actually started working on this class but got too many changes at once whirling around--brain started to bleed, and I reverted lest I lose my mind completely.  :D
