/**
 * ArrayMap is a generic key->value mapping data structure that is
 * designed to be more memory efficient than a traditional {@link java.util.HashMap}.
 * It keeps its mappings in an array data structure -- an integer array of hash
 * codes for each item, and an Object array of the key/value pairs.  This allows it to
 * avoid having to create an extra object for every entry put in to the map, and it
 * also tries to control the growth of the size of these arrays more aggressively
 * (since growing them only requires copying the entries in the array, not rebuilding
 * a hash map).
 *
 * <p>Note that this implementation is not intended to be appropriate for data structures
 * that may contain large numbers of items.  It is generally slower than a traditional
 * HashMap, since lookups require a binary search and adds and removes require inserting
 * and deleting entries in the array.  For containers holding up to hundreds of items,
 * the performance difference is not significant, less than 50%.</p>
 *
 * <p>Because this container is intended to better balance memory use, unlike most other
 * standard Java containers it will shrink its array as items are removed from it.  Currently
 * you have no control over this shrinking -- if you set a capacity and then remove an
 * item, it may reduce the capacity to better match the current size.  In the future an
 * explicit call to set the capacity should turn off this aggressive shrinking behavior.</p>
