While I do use `var` when appropriate, your example is in general not appropriate

You would like to use Map<Key, Value> items = new HashMap<>() since in general you do not want implementation detail leaking into contracts

Using var there doesn’t leak any implementation details into any contracts. Var is for local variables inside of functions. There are no details or contracts there.
