I'm stuck in the in-between here with the following thought: HashTable 
certainly feels like a collection of objects, but it clearly extends Dictionary 
and isn't in the collections family. But we are in java.util here and not in 
java.lang, so that feels more like it could be in collections. Plus properties 
are essentially a map, despite they're being implemented on top of hashtable.
