; CLASS_NAME:
;	HASHTABLE
;
; PURPOSE:
;	A hash table class which associates key strings with arbitrary values
;
; CATEGORY:
;	Data Structures
;
; SUPERCLASSES:
;       None.
;
; SUBCLASSES:
;       This class has no subclasses.
;
; CREATION:
;       See HASHTABLE::INIT
;
; DESCRIPTION:
;
;       This is a hash table class.  With this data structure, users
;       can associate arbitrary values (scalars, arrays, structures,
;       objects, etc) with a scalar string "key."  The hash table is a
;       collection of (key,value) associations.  Users may dynamically
;       add and remove entries.
;
;       Upon initialization, users may choose the size of the hash
;       table.  This size should be larger than the expected number of
;       entries in the table.  Regardless of the size of the table, an
;       essentially unlimited number of entries may be stored.
;
;       Duplicate keys may be allowed or disallowed, depending on the
;       NO_DUPLICATES keyword to the initialization method.
;
;
; METHODS:
;       Intrinsic Methods
;       This class has the following methods:
;
;       HASHTABLE::CLEANUP removes an existing hash table object
;       HASHTABLE::INIT    initializes a new hash table object
;       HASHTABLE::ADD     adds a new entry to an existing hash table object
;       HASHTABLE::COUNT   returns the number of entries in a hash table
;       HASHTABLE::REMOVE  removes an entry from an existing hash table
;       HASHTABLE::ISCONTAINED is a KEYNAME contained within a hash table?
;       HASHTABLE::GET     returns value associated with KEYNAME in hash table
;       HASHTABLE::KEYS    returns all the keys in an existing hash table
;       HASHTABLE::STRUCT  returns hash table, converted to a structure
;
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;       ;; Create hash table object
;       ht = obj_new('hashtable')
;       
;       ;; Add some entries
;       ht->add, 'one', 1     ;; Add the scalar number 1
;       ht->add, 'two', [1,2] ;; Add a vector [1,2]
;       ht->add, 'struct', {alpha: 1, beta: 2} ;; Add a structure
;       ht->add, 'hash', obj_new('hashtable')  ;; Add another hash table!
;
;       ht->add, 'one', 10    ;; Adding a duplicate entry!!
;       ;; NOTE: if you do not wish to allow multiple entries with the
;       ;; same key, then add entries like this:
;       ht->add, 'one', 10, /replace
;       ;; in which case 10 would replace 1.
;
;       ;; Number of entries stored
;       print, ht->count()
;        ---> 5
;       
;       ;; Retreive some entries
;       print, ht->get('two')
;        ---> [1,2]
;
;       ;; How multiple entries are retrieved
;       print, ht->get('one', position=0)  ;; Returns first entry of this key
;        ---> 10
;       print, ht->get('one', position=1)  ;; Returns second entry of this key
;        ---> 1
;       
;       ;; Show number of keys in table
;       print, ht->keys()
;        ---> ['two','one','one','struct', 'hash']
;
;       ;; Destroy hash table
;       obj_destroy, ht
;

; METHODNAME:
;       HASHTABLE::INIT
;
; PURPOSE:
;       Creates a hash table object.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       result = obj_new('hashtable', [LENGTH=length,] [NULL_VALUE=null])
;
; DESCRIPTION:
;
;       The INIT method creates a new hash table object and
;       initializes it.  The user can chose the initial size of the
;       hashtable, which should be comparable to the number of entries
;       expected.
;
; OPTIONAL INPUTS:
;
;       None.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;
;       LENGTH - The number of "buckets" in the hash table, i.e. then
;                number of unique hash values.  This size is fixed
;                once the table is created, however since a bucket can
;                contain more than one entry, this is not a
;                fundamental limitation.
;
;       NO_DUPLICATES - If set, then duplicate entries are not allowed
;                       in the hash table.
;
;       NULL_VALUE - a custom "null" value which is returned when
;                    GET() does not find an entry.
;                    Default: 0L
;
; RETURNS:
;       A new hash table object.

; PURPOSE:
;       Add an entry to a hash table.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       HT->ADD, KEYNAME, VALUE, HASHVAL=HASHVAL, REPLACE=REPLACE
;         
;       
; DESCRIPTION:
;
;       This method adds a new hash association to an existing hash
;       table.  The hash table associates VALUE with the scalar string
;       KEYNAME.
;
; INPUTS:
;
;       KEYNAME - a scalar string which identifies the value.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;
;       HASHVAL - Use for performance.  If defined upon input,
;                 specifies the hash value for this KEYNAME.  If not
;                 defined upon input, the hash value is computed
;                 internally.  Upon output, the hash value used is
;                 returned in this variable.
;       REPLACE - If set, and if an entry with key KEYNAME already
;                 exists in the table, then replace it with VALUE.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;       HT->ADD, 'X', 1
;       HT->ADD, 'Y', 2
;       struct = {psym: 3, xtitle: 'Time', ytitle: 'Value'}
;       HT->ADD, 'extra', struct
;
;       Adds the ('X',1), ('Y',2) and ('extra', STRUCT) pairs to the
;       HT hash table.

;
; PURPOSE:
;       Removes a hash table entry from an existing hash table object.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       HT->REMOVE, KEYNAME
;
; DESCRIPTION:
;
;       This method removes one or more hash entries from an existing
;       hash table.  Entries whose key matches KEYNAME are removed.
;
;       If KEYNAME does not exist, then REMOVE returns silently.
;
;       If multiple entries with the same KEYNAME exist, then they are
;       all deleted by default, unless the POSITION keyword is set.
;       After deleting some entries, positions of the remaining
;       entries may shift.
;
; INPUTS:
;       KEYNAME - a scalar string to be removed from the hash table.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;
;       HASHVAL - Use for performance.  If defined upon input,
;                 specifies the hash value for this KEYNAME.  If not
;                 defined upon input, the hash value is computed
;                 internally.  Upon output, the hash value used is
;                 returned in this variable.
;
;       COUNT - The number of hash entries removed.
;
;       POSITION - if more than one entry was found, then POSITION is
;                  a list of indices to delete (indices start at 0).
;                  IMPORTANT NOTE: out of bounds values are allowed,
;                  and will be rounded to in-bounds values.

;
;       POSITION - if KEYNAME was found, and more than one entry was
