 22.7.3 Hash Tables
 ------------------
 
 Hash tables are dictionaries which offer similar functionality as
 association lists: They provide a mapping from keys to values.  The
 difference is that association lists need time linear in the size of
 elements when searching for entries, whereas hash tables can normally
 search in constant time.  The drawback is that hash tables require a
 little bit more memory, and that you can not use the normal list
 procedures ( Lists) for working with them.
