/**
 * A hash-table based implementation of [Map].
 *
 * The keys of a `HashMap` must have consistent [Object.operator==]
 * and [Object.hashCode] implementations. This means that the `==` operator
 * must define a stable equivalence relation on the keys (reflexive,
 * anti-symmetric, transitive, and consistent over time), and that `hashCode`
 * must be the same for objects that are considered equal by `==`.
 *
 * The map allows `null` as a key.
