 * form, that shouldn't necessary be the same equality relation as defined by built-in {@link
 * Object#equals(Object)} method, which is prescribed by general {@link Map} contract.
 *
 * <p>Note that {@code ChronicleMap} extends {@link Closeable}, don't forget to {@linkplain #close()
 * close} map when it is no longer needed.
