// Public Members
//
//      add
//
//      Adds an object to the collection.
//
// 	    lookup
//
// 	    Converts an object to an association with no value, then finds
// 	    that association in the dictionary.
//
// 	    isA
//
// 	    Returns the class type of dictionary.
//
// 	    nameOf
//
// 	    Returns a character pointer to the string "Dictionary."
//
// 	    hashValue
//
// 	    Inherited from Object.
//
// Inherited Members
//
//      destroy
//
//      Removes an object reference from the collection and
//      destroys the object.
//
// 	    detach
//
// 	    Removes all references to the object in the collection.
//      Does not delete the object.  Use this function when the collection
//      elements are not owned by the collection.
//
// 	    lookup
//
// 	    Inherited from HashTable.
//
//      hasMember
//
// 	    Test whether an object is part of the collection.  Returns 1 if

//
// 	    initIterator
//
// 	    Inherited from HashTable.
//
// 	    isEmpty
//
// 	    Returns a 1 if the collection has no members.  Returns a 0
// 	    otherwise.
//
//      firstThat
//
//      Returns the first object that satisfies the given condition.
