I was hoping that we could use some instanceof trick since all the
"special" delegates are for classes that implement java.util.Map. Am I
right this is indeed the case for all these classes? If so maybe you
could special case when a class has a null classloader (bootstrap
classloader) and is an instanceof java.util.Map?

Otherwise maybe adding BeanInfos for all these classes is an option?
