5.3.17. The IdentityTable Class

An identity table is a collection with indexes that can be any object. In an identity table, each item is associated with a single index, and there can be only one item for each index. Index and item matches in an identity table are made using an object identity comparison. That is, an index will only match if the same instance is used in the collection.

Note

The IdentityTable class also has available class methods that its metaclass, the Class class (Section 5.1.2, “The Class Class”), defines. It also inherits methods from the MapCollection (Section 5.3.3, “The MapCollection Class” class.
