    \class QHash
    \brief The QHash class is a template class that provides a hash-table-based dictionary.

    \ingroup qtl
    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
    stores (key, value) pairs and provides very fast lookup of the
    value associated with a key.

    QHash provides very similar functionality to QMap. The
    differences are:

    \list
    \i QHash provides faster lookups than QMap.
    \i When iterating over a QMap, the items are always sorted by
       key. With QHash, the items are arbitrarily ordered.
    \i The key type of a QMap must provide operator<(). The key
       type of a QHash must provide operator==() and a global
       qHash(Key) function.
    \endlist

    Here's an example QHash with QString keys and int values:
    \code
        QHash<QString, int> hash;
    \endcode

    To insert a (key, value) pair into the hash, you can use operator[]():

    \code
        hash["one"] = 1;
        hash["three"] = 3;
        hash["seven"] = 7;
    \endcode

    This inserts the following three (key, value) pairs into the
    QHash: ("one", 1), ("three", 3), and ("seven", 7).

    Another way to insert items into the hash is to use insert():

    \code
        hash.insert("twelve", 12);
    \endcode

    To look up a value, use operator[]() or value():

    \code
        int num1 = hash["thirteen"];
        int num2 = hash.value("thirteen");
    \endcode

    If there is no item with the specified key in the hash, these
    functions return a \l{default-constructed value}.

    If you want to check whether the hash contains a particular key,
    use contains():

    \code
        int timeout = 30;
        if (hash.contains("TIMEOUT"))
            timeout = hash.value("TIMEOUT");
    \endcode

    There is also a value() overload that uses its second argument as
    a default value if there is no item with the specified key:

    \code
        int timeout = hash.value("TIMEOUT", 30);
    \endcode

    In general, we recommend that you use contains() and value()
    rather than operator[]() for looking up a key in a hash. The
    reason is that operator[]() silently inserts an item into the
    hash if no item exists with the same key (unless the hash is
    const). For example, the following code snippet will create 1000
    items in memory:

    \code
        // WRONG
        QHash<int, QWidget *> hash;
        ...
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
            if (hash[i] == okButton)
                cout << "Found button at index " << i << endl;
        }
    \endcode

    To avoid this problem, replace \c hash[i] with \c hash.value(i)
    in the code above.

    If you want to navigate through all the (key, value) pairs stored
    in a QHash, you can use an iterator. QHash provides both
    \l{Java-style iterators} (QHashIterator and QHashMutableIterator)
    and \l{STL-style iterators} (QHash::const_iterator and
    QHash::iterator). Here's how to iterate over a QHash<QString,
    int> using a Java-style iterator:

    \code
        QHashIterator<QString, int> i(hash);
        while (i.hasNext()) {
            i.next();
            cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << endl;
        }
    \endcode

    Here's the same code, but using an STL-style iterator:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int>::const_iterator i = hash.constBegin();
        while (i != hash.constEnd()) {
            cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << endl;
            ++i;
        }
    \endcode

    QHash is unordered, so an iterator's sequence cannot be assumed
    to be predictable. If ordering by key is required, use a QMap.

    Normally, a QHash allows only one value per key. If you call
    insert() with a key that already exists in the QHash, the
    previous value is erased. For example:

    \code
        hash.insert("plenty", 100);
        hash.insert("plenty", 2000);
        // hash.value("plenty") == 2000
    \endcode

    However, you can store multiple values per key by using
    insertMulti() instead of insert() (or using the convenience
    subclass QMultiHash). If you want to retrieve all
    the values for a single key, you can use values(const Key &key),
    which returns a QList<T>:

    \code
        QList<int> values = hash.values("plenty");
        for (int i = 0; i < values.size(); ++i)
            cout << values.at(i) << endl;
    \endcode

    The items that share the same key are available from most
    recently to least recently inserted.

    A more efficient approach is to use QHashIterator::findNextKey() or
    QHashMutableIterator::findNextKey():

    \code
        QHashIterator<QString, int> i(hash);
        while (i.findNextKey("plenty"))
            cout << i.value() << endl;
    \endcode

    If you prefer the STL-style iterators, you can call find() to get
    the iterator for the first item with a key and iterate from
    there:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int>::iterator i = hash.find("plenty");
        while (i != hash.end() && i.key() == "plenty") {
            cout << i.value() << endl;
            ++i;
        }
    \endcode

    If you only need to extract the values from a hash (not the keys),
    you can also use \l{foreach}:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int> hash;
        ...
        foreach (int value, hash)
            cout << value << endl;
    \endcode

    Items can be removed from the hash in several ways. One way is to
    call remove(); this will remove any item with the given key.
    Another way is to use QHashMutableIterator::remove(). In addition,
    you can clear the entire hash using clear().

    QHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
    types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
    instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QHash's key type must
    provide operator==(), and there must also be a global qHash()
    function that returns a hash value for an argument of the key's
    type.

    Here's a list of the C++ and Qt types that can serve as keys in a
    QHash: any integer type (char, unsigned long, etc.), any pointer
    type, QChar, QString, and QByteArray. For all of these, \c
    <qhash.h> defines a qHash() function that computes an adequate
    hash value. If you want to use other types as the key, make sure
    that you provide operator==() and a qHash() implementation.

    Example:
    \code
        #ifndef EMPLOYEE_H
        #define EMPLOYEE_H

        class Employee
        {
        public:
            Employee() {}
            Employee(const QString &name, const QDate &dateOfBirth);
            ...

        private:
            QString myName;
            QDate myDateOfBirth;
        };

        inline bool operator==(const Employee &e1, const Employee &e2)
        {
            return e1.name() == e2.name()
                   && e1.dateOfBirth() == e2.dateOfBirth();
        }

        inline uint qHash(const Employee &key)
        {
            return qHash(key.name()) ^ key.dateOfBirth().day();
        }

        #endif // EMPLOYEE_H
    \endcode

    The qHash() function computes a numeric value based on a key. It
    can use any algorithm imaginable, as long as it always returns
    the same value if given the same argument. In other words, if
    \c{e1 == e2}, then \c{qHash(e1) == qHash(e2)} must hold as well.
    However, to obtain good performance, the qHash() function should
    attempt to return different hash values for different keys to the
    largest extent possible.

    In the example above, we've relied on Qt's global qHash(const
    QString&) to give us a hash value for the employee's name, and
    XOR'ed this with the day they were born to help produce unique
    hashes for people with the same name.

    Internally, QHash uses a hash table to perform lookups. Unlike Qt
    3's QDict, which needed to be initialized with a prime number,
    QHash's hash table automatically grows and shrinks to provide fast
    lookups without wasting too much memory. You can still control the
    size of the hash table by calling reserve() if you already know
    approximately how many items the QHash will contain, but this isn't
    necessary to obtain good performance. You can also call capacity()
    to retrieve the hash table's size.

/*! \fn void QHash::reserve(int size)

    Ensures that the QHash's internal hash table consists of at least
    \a size buckets.

    This function is useful for code that needs to build a huge hash
    and wants to avoid repeated reallocation. For example:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int> hash;
        hash.reserve(20000);
        for (int i = 0; i < 20000; ++i)
            hash.insert(keys[i], values[i]);
    \endcode

    Ideally, \a size should be slightly more than the maximum number
    of items expected in the hash. \a size doesn't have to be prime,
    because QHash will use a prime number internally anyway. If \a size
    is an underestimate, the worst that will happen is that the QHash
    will be a bit slower.

    In general, you will rarely ever need to call this function.
    QHash's internal hash table automatically shrinks or grows to

/*! \class QHash::iterator
    \brief The QHash::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QHash and QMultiHash.

    QHash features both \l{STL-style iterators} and \l{Java-style
    iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more low-level and more
    cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are slightly faster
    and, for developers who already know STL, have the advantage of
    familiarity.

    QHash\<Key, T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a QHash (or
    QMultiHash) and to modify the value (but not the key) associated
    with a particular key. If you want to iterate over a const QHash,
    you should use QHash::const_iterator. It is generally good
    practice to use QHash::const_iterator on a non-const QHash as
    well, unless you need to change the QHash through the iterator.
    Const iterators are slightly faster, and can improve code
    readability.

    The default QHash::iterator constructor creates an uninitialized
    iterator. You must initialize it using a QHash function like
    QHash::begin(), QHash::end(), or QHash::find() before you can
    start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the (key,
    value) pairs stored in a hash:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int> hash;
        hash.insert("January", 1);
        hash.insert("February", 2);
        ...
        hash.insert("December", 12);

        QHash<QString, int>::iterator i;
        for (i = hash.begin(); i != hash.end(); ++i)
            cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << endl;
    \endcode

    Unlike QMap, which orders its items by key, QHash stores its
    items in an arbitrary order. The only guarantee is that items that
    share the same key (because they were inserted using
    QHash::insertMulti()) will appear consecutively, from the most
    recently to the least recently inserted value.

    Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
    QHash::iterator that we cannot do with a QHash::const_iterator.
    Here's an example that increments every value stored in the QHash
    by 2:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int>::iterator i;
        for (i = hash.begin(); i != hash.end(); ++i)
            i.value() += 2;
    \endcode

    Here's an example that removes all the items whose key is a
    string that starts with an underscore character:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int>::iterator i = hash.begin();
        while (i != hash.end()) {
            if (i.key().startsWith("_"))
                i = hash.erase(i);
            else
                ++i;
        }
    \endcode

    The call to QHash::erase() removes the item pointed to by the
    iterator from the hash, and returns an iterator to the next item.
    Here's another way of removing an item while iterating:

    \code
        QHash<QString, int>::iterator i = hash.begin();
        while (i != hash.end()) {
            QHash<QString, int>::iterator prev = i;
            ++i;
            if (prev.key().startsWith("_"))
                hash.erase(prev);
        }
    \endcode

    It might be tempting to write code like this:

    \code
        // WRONG
        while (i != hash.end()) {
            if (i.key().startsWith("_"))
                hash.erase(i);
            ++i;
        }
    \endcode

    However, this will potentially crash in \c{++i}, because \c i is
    a dangling iterator after the call to erase().

    Multiple iterators can be used on the same hash. However, be
    aware that any modification performed directly on the QHash has
    the potential of dramatically changing the order in which the
    items are stored in the hash, as they might cause QHash to rehash
    its internal data structure. There is one notable exception:
    QHash::erase(). This function can safely be called while
    iterating, and won't affect the order of items in the hash. If you
    need to keep iterators over a long period of time, we recommend
    that you use QMap rather than QHash.

/*! \class QMultiHash
    \brief The QMultiHash class is a convenience QHash subclass that provides multi-valued hashes.

    \ingroup qtl
    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QMultiHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}.
    It inherits QHash and extends it with a few convenience functions
    that make it more suitable than QHash for storing multi-valued
    hashes. A multi-valued hash is a hash that allows multiple values
    with the same key; QHash normally doesn't allow that, unless you
    call QHash::insertMulti().

    Because QMultiHash inherits QHash, all of QHash's functionality also
    applies to QMultiHash. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
    whether the hash is empty, and you can traverse a QMultiHash using
    QHash's iterator classes (for example, QHashIterator). But in
    addition, it provides an insert() function that corresponds to
    QHash::insertMulti(), and a replace() function that corresponds to
    QHash::insert(). It also provides convenient operator+() and
    operator+=().

    Example:
    \code
        QMultiHash<QString, int> hash1, hash2, hash3;

        hash1.insert("plenty", 100);
        hash1.insert("plenty", 2000);
        // hash1.size() == 2

        hash2.insert("plenty", 5000);
        // hash2.size() == 1

        hash3 = hash1 + hash2;
        // hash3.size() == 3
    \endcode

    Unlike QHash, QMultiHash provides no operator[]. Use value() or
    replace() if you want to access the most recently inserted item
    with a certain key.

    If you want to retrieve all the values for a single key, you can
    use values(const Key &key), which returns a QList<T>:

    \code
        QList<int> values = hash.values("plenty");
        for (int i = 0; i < values.size(); ++i)
            cout << values.at(i) << endl;
    \endcode

    The items that share the same key are available from most
    recently to least recently inserted.

    A more efficient approach is to use QHashIterator::findNextKey() or
    QHashMutableIterator::findNextKey():

    \code
        QHashIterator<QString, int> i(hash);
        while (i.findNextKey("plenty"))
            cout << i.value() << endl;
    \endcode

    If you prefer the STL-style iterators, you can call find() to get
    the iterator for the first item with a key and iterate from
    there:

    \code
        QMultiHash<QString, int>::iterator i = hash.find("plenty");
        while (i != hash.end() && i.key() == "plenty") {
            cout << i.value() << endl;
            ++i;
        }
    \endcode

    QMultiHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
    types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
    instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QMultiHash's key type
    must provide operator==(), and there must also be a global
    qHash() function that returns a hash value for an argument of the
    key's type. See the QHash documentation for details.

    Inserts a new item with the key \a key and a value of \a value.

    If there is already an item with the same key in the hash, this
    function will simply create a new one. (This behavior is
    different from replace(), which overwrites the value of an
