/*
 * HashMap.h: The public interface for Telodendria's hash map
 * implementation. This hash map is designed to be simple, well
 * documented, and generally readable and understandable, yet also
 * performant enough to be useful, because it is used extensively in
 * Telodendria.
 *
 * Fundamentally, this is an entirely generic map implementation. It
 * can be used for many general purposes, but it is designed to only
 * implement the features that Telodendria needs to function well.
