map

add key value
if key is already present value is updated

add all key-value pairs to this map

if key already exists, NYI what should happen?

create a string containing all mappings

Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.

There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierachy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

check if key k is present in the set of keys

lookup key k

a snapshot of the ctrie as sequence auf key-value tuples

get a sequence of all keys in this map

name of this type, including type parameters, e.g. 'option (list i32)'.

convenience prefix operator to create a string from a value.

This permits usage of `$` as a prefix operator in a similar way both
inside and outside of constant strings: $x and "$x" will produce the
same string.

remove key from ctrie

the size of the ctrie

take a snapshot of the ctrie

get a sequence of all values in this map

initialize a new ctrie

lock_free.map.from_entries -- routine to initialize a ctrie from a sequence of key value tuples

This feature creates an instance of a ctrie.

example: lock_free.map.from_entries [(key1, value1), (key2, value2)]

Get a type as a value.

This is a feature with the effect equivalent to Fuzion's `expr.type` call tail.
It is recommended to use `expr.type` and not `expr.type_value`.

`type_value` is here to show how this can be implemented and to illustrate the
difference to `dynamic_type`.
