Description Darin Adler 2021-05-19 14:34:53 PDT 
As seen in bug 225840 we sometimes make the mistake of allocating a HashMap or other very small single pointer structure on the heap, presumably because the programmer thinks a HashMap is expensive to allocate and destroy. Since it’s not and it’s already a pointer, we should remove any instances of this pattern.
