+This is a simple, type-safe, and reasonably efficient hash map class,
+whose interface is a subset of the interface of STL containers. In
+particular, the interface is modeled after std::map, and the various,
+non standard, std::hash\_map.

h2["Bill"] = "ABC";
wxString tmp = h2["Bill"];
// since element with key "Joe" is not present, this will return

three predefined hashing functions: {\tt wxIntegerHash}
for integer types ( {\tt int}, {\tt long}, {\tt short},

{\tt wxIntegerEqual}, {\tt wxStringEqual}, {\tt wxPointerEqual} are provided.
