It took me about an hour to compose that previous post, and not only did a bug 
still hide in it ("map" instead of "m_map"), but also: only five minutes after 
posting, it occurred to me that I could also look at TreeMap's methods, rather 
than only at SortedMap's, and thereby stumbled over the (new in 1.6) interface 
NavigableMap.

PS: return m_map.floorEntry(k).getValue(); // :-) Case closed.
