+/// A vector based implementation of an associative map.
+/// This strucutre maps a given key to a single value.
+/// The type achives this by storing every pair of key/value pairs
+/// in a single vector.
+/// Thus for looking up a value takes a linear amount of time: O(n) in the worst case.
+/// Adding a new value is a constant time operation since the map is not sorted in any
+/// particular way.
+/// Note that it is not possible to insert a new value with the same key. Instead the old value
+/// associated with the already existing key will be replaced with the new value.
+/// # Example
+/// ```rust ignore
+/// let mut map = HashishMap::new();
+/// 
+/// map.insert("abc", 99);
+/// 
+/// map[&"abc"] += 1;
+/// ```
