keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Returns a set view of the keys contained in this map. BUG: If a FQMap is intentionally added to an FQMap, rather than created through a fully qualified key, such that put(someObj,FQMap) is effectively done, and then this top level FQMap is added to another, either intentionally or under the fully qualified scheme, then the keySet will contain the stringied version of someObj, which means that a request with this key will _not_ work, unless someObj's hashCode() and equals() are such that someObj equals the stringified version of someObj. To this end, a fix is to wrap all keys coming back out in a 'FQKey' object which contains an ArrayList of all subkeys. Code would need changing so a value may be obtained using this FQKey. Also to note, the stringified form of an object is fully qualified, using '.' as the package/class seperator. ie) the default behaviour of this class.
