/**
 *      This class implements an associative array for storing arbitrary types
 *  of data that provides a quick (near constant) access to *values* by
 *  associated *keys*.
 *      Since UnrealScript lacks any sort of templating, `HashTable`
 *  stores generic `AcediaObject` keys and values. `Text` can be used instead of
 *  typical `string` keys and primitive values can be added in their boxed form
 *  (either as actual `<Type>Box` or as it's reference counterpart).
