    A convenience method for creating an immutable SortedMap.
    
    Returns:
    
    an unmodifiable view of a copy of the original, i.e. an effectively immutable copy

  - public SortedMap asSynchronized()
    
    A convenience method for creating a synchronized SortedMap.
    
    Returns:
    
    a synchronized SortedMap
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
    
    See Also:

  - public SortedMap asUnmodifiable()
    
    Creates an unmodifiable view of a SortedMap.
    
    Returns:
    
    an unmodifiable view of the SortedMap
    
    Since:
    
    2.5.0

  - public SortedMap sort()
    
    Avoids doing unnecessary work when sorting an already sorted map (i.e. an identity function for an already sorted map).
    
    Returns:
    
    the map
    
    Since:
    
    1.8.1
  - public Map toSorted()
    
    Avoids doing unnecessary work when sorting an already sorted map
