package BC.Containers.Maps is

   --  A map denotes a collection forming a dictionary of domain/range
   --  pairs.

   --  The parameter Key denotes the universe from which the map draws
   --  its doamin; the parameter Item denotes the universe from which
   --  the map draws its range. The parameters Key and Item typically
   --  represent different types, although they may may represent the
   --  same types. Either may be a primitive type or user-defined.
