 * the components to explicitly register with one another (and thus be aware of each other). It is

 * Null row keys, columns keys, and values are not supported.
 *
 * <p>Lookups by row key are often faster than lookups by column key, because the data is stored in
 * a {@code Map<R, Map<C, V>>}. A method call like {@code column(columnKey).get(rowKey)} still runs
 * quickly, since the row key is provided. However, {@code column(columnKey).size()} takes longer,
