* 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.

* Iterate over all the keys and values of a hash map. This function
* works similarly to the POSIX getopt(), where calls are repeatedly
* made in a "while" loop until there are no more items to go over.
*
* The difference is that this function does not rely on globals. This
* function takes pointer pointers, and stores necessary state inside
* the hash map structure itself.
*
* This function can be tricky to use in some scenarios, as it
* continues where it left off on each call, until there are no more
* elements. Then it returns 0 and resets the iterator, so that it can
* start over for the next iteration. This means that if you are not
* iterating over the entire map at one, and break the loop, the next
* time you try to iterate the HashMap, you'll start somewhere in the
* middle. Thus, it's recommended to iterate over the entire map. For
* scenarios in which the entire map needs to be iterated, such as
* when freeing all the keys and values, this function does well.
*
* Params:
*
* (HashMap *) The hash map to iterate over.
* (char **) A character pointer that will be set to the current
* key.
* (void **) A void pointer that will be set to the current value.
*
* Return: 1 if there are still elements left in this iteration of the
* hash map, or 0 if no valid hash map was provided, or there are no
* more elements in it for this iteration. Note that after this
* function returns 0 on a hash map, subsequent iterations will start
* from the beginning.

* what actually is stored in it. You should use HashMapIterate() to
* free the values using your own algorithm.
*
* Params:
*
* (HashMap *) The hash map to free. The pointer can be safely
* discarded when this function returns. In fact,
* accessing it after this function returns is undefined
* behavior.
