New methods in java.util.Map

[Alberto Otero Rodríguez]

Hi, I have a suggestion for new methods in java.util.Map.

As of Java 25, we have the method:

default V getOrDefault(Object key, V defaultValue)

However, I think it could be interesting a method where the defaultValue is
passed as a lambda function like this one:

default V getOrDefault(Object key,  Function<? super K, ? extends V>
defaultValueFunction)

Also, other two new methods might be interesting if you want to get a value
from a map, but if the key doesn't exist you want to insert that value in
the map and return it:

default V getOrPut(Object key, V defaultValue)

default V getOrPut(Object key,  Function<? super K, ? extends V>
defaultValueFunction)

What do you think?

Regards,

Alberto.
