Java standard classes provide a Map Interface, that has a put() method that returns the object that was replaced by the object that was the argument of the put call. The kelondro ObjectIndex defined a put method in the same way, that means it also returned the previous value of the Entry object before the put call. However, this value was not used by the calling code in the most cases. Omitting a return of the previous value would cause some performance benefit. This change implements a put method that does not return the previous value to reflect the common use. Omitting the return of previous values will cause some benefit in performance. The functionality to get the previous value is still maintained, and provided with a new 'replace' method.
