34--  This package contains two separate packages. The Simple_HTable package
35--  provides a very simple abstraction that associates one element to one
36--  key value and takes care of all allocations automatically using the heap.
37--  The Static_HTable package provides a more complex interface that allows
38--  complete control over allocation.
