This module implements applicative association tables, also known as finite maps or dictionaries, given a total ordering function over the keys. All operations over maps are purely applicative (no side-effects). The implementation uses balanced binary trees, and therefore searching and insertion take time logarithmic in the size of the map. *) module type OrderedType = sig type t (** The type of the map keys. *) val compare : t -> t -> int (** A total ordering function over the keys. This is a two-argument function [f] such that [f e1 e2] is zero if the keys [e1] and [e2] are equal, [f e1 e2] is strictly negative if [e1] is smaller than [e2], and [f e1 e2] is strictly positive if [e1] is greater than [e2].
