 * 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.

  /**
   * Creates a hash-table based [Map].
   *
   * The created map is not ordered in any way. When iterating the keys or
   * values, the iteration order is unspecified except that it will stay the
   * same as long as the map isn't changed.
   *
   * If [equals] is provided, it is used to compare the keys in the table with
   * new keys. If [equals] is omitted, the key's own [Object.operator==] is used
   * instead.
   *
   * Similar, if [hashCode] is provided, it is used to produce a hash value
   * for keys in order to place them in the hash table. If it is omitted, the
   * key's own [Object.hashCode] is used.
   *
   * If using methods like [operator[]], [remove] and [containsKey] together
   * with a custom equality and hashcode, an extra `isValidKey` function
   * can be supplied. This function is called before calling [equals] or
   * [hashCode] with an argument that may not be a [K] instance, and if the
   * call returns false, the key is assumed to not be in the set.
   * The [isValidKey] function defaults to just testing if the object is a
   * [K] instance.
   *
   * The used `equals` and `hashCode` method should always be consistent,
   * so that if `equals(a, b)` then `hashCode(a) == hashCode(b)`. The hash
   * of an object, or what it compares equal to, should not change while the
   * object is in the table. If it does change, the result is unpredictable.
   *
   * It is generally the case that if you supply one of [equals] and [hashCode],
   * you also want to supply the other. The only common exception is to pass
   * [identical] as the equality and use the default hash code.
