Description

While attempting to throw a LinkedHashMap through Record serialization (BinaryRecordOutput, etc), the type does not match TreeMap, and compilation fails.

I looked for any TreeMap/ArrayList specific method calls but couldn't find any. BinaryRecordOutput calls .size() for both, which are methods of the interfaces Map/List respectively.
