Map.merge must refuse null values

XMLWordPrintable

        Map.merge<http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#merge-K-V-java.util.function.BiFunction-&gt;states
        that its default implementation is equivalent to:

        V oldValue = map.get(key);
         V newValue = (oldValue == null) ? value :
                      remappingFunction.apply(oldValue, value);
         if (newValue == null)
             map.remove(key);
         else if (oldValue == null)
             map.remove(key);
         else
             map.put(key, newValue);

        This is not correct as for non-existing or null-value, the non-null newValuw should be added to the map.
