I know the javac lint warnings are important but it's lower risk and at least some of the code in the lint patch will be replaced. I would expect it would be straight-forward to sort out any remaining issues later.

If no one else volunteers i can try and sort this out and sync up stuff from the current HashMap/LinkedHashMap (e.g. forEachRem. as reported by Remi) and the lint warnings in one go, and submit for review. 

I do have a vested interest since it fixes another bug related to the incorrect reporting of splitrerator characteristics in LInkedHashMap (they should report ORDERED).
