Copy constructor.
-\membersection{wxHashMap::begin}

\constfunc{const\_iterator}{begin}{}
Returns an iterator pointing at the first element of the hash map.
Please remember that hash maps do not guarantee ordering.

\func{void}{clear}{}
Removes all elements from the hash map.

\constfunc{size\_type}{count}{\param{const key\_type\&}{ key}}
Counts the number of elements with the given key present in the map.
-This function can actually return 0 or 1.
+This function returns only 0 or 1.

-Returns true if the hash map does not contain any element, false otherwise.

\constfunc{const\_iterator}{end}{}
Returns an iterator pointing at the one-after-the-last element of the hash map.
Please remember that hash maps do not guarantee ordering.
-\membersection{wxHashMap::erase}
+\membersection{wxHashMap::erase}\label{wxhashmaperase}
\func{size\_type}{erase}{\param{const key\_type\&}{ key}}
Erases the element pointed to by the iterator. After the deletion
the iterator is no longer valid and must not be used.
-\membersection{wxHashMap::find}
+\membersection{wxHashMap::find}\label{wxhashmapfind}
\func{iterator}{find}{\param{const key\_type\&}{ key}}
an iterator pointing at that element, otherwise an invalid iterator
is returned (i.e. hashmap.find( non\_existent\_key ) == hashmap.end()).
