18.2.1 hash-table | System Class
Class Precedence List: hash-table, t Description: Hash tables provide a way of mapping any object (a key) to an associated object (a value). See Also: Section 18.1 Hash Table Concepts, Section 22.1.3.13 Printing Other Objects Notes: The intent is that this mapping be implemented by a hashing mechanism, such as that described in Section 6.4 "Hashing" of The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3 (pp506-549). In spite of this intent, no conforming implementation is required to use any particular technique to implement the mapping. Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
