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 modelled after std::map, and the various,
-non standard, std::hash\_map.

Similarly three equality predicates:
{\tt wxIntegerEqual}, {\tt wxStringEqual}, {\tt wxPointerEqual} are provided.
