In "dart:" libraries we type local variables too. (yes this is not following the
style guide).

reuse the argument. This way you don't need to come up with a new name.
if (key == null) key = ...;

Use a static identity function. Otherwise the VM will probably allocate a new
function at every constructor call. (In theory it could eventually optimize this
away, but it won't happen in the near future).

Done.

+    iterable.forEach((e) {

personally I prefer

for (var element in iterable) {
  map[key(element)] = value(element);
}

but that's just, because I expect it to be easier to get optimized.

Done.

Use type.

[zarah, 2013/06/27 13:02:43]

Done.

+    var valueIterator = values.iterator;
+
+    bool hasNextKey = keyIterator.moveNext();
+    bool hasNextValue = valueIterator.moveNext();
+
+    while (hasNextKey && hasNextValue) {
+      map[keyIterator.current] = valueIterator.current;
+      hasNextKey = keyIterator.moveNext();
+      hasNextValue = valueIterator.moveNext();
+    }
+
+    if (hasNextKey != hasNextValue) {

[floitsch, 2013/06/27 11:45:04]

if (hasNextKey || hasNextValue) {

It has the same effect, but, to me, it makes it more clear what happens.
hasNextKey != hasNextValue could (in if implemented naively) be more efficient,
though.

Done.
