/**
 * A hash-table based implementation of [Map].
 *
 * The insertion order of keys is remembered,
 * and keys are iterated in the order they were inserted into the map.
 * Values are iterated in their corresponding key's order.
 * Changing a key's value, when the key is already in the map,
 * does not change the iteration order,
 * but removing the key and adding it again
 * will make it be last in the iteration order.
 *
 * The keys of a `LinkedHashMap` must have consistent [Object.==]
 * and [Object.hashCode] implementations. This means that the `==` operator
 * must define a stable equivalence relation on the keys (reflexive,
 * symmetric, transitive, and consistent over time), and that `hashCode`
 * must be the same for objects that are considered equal by `==`.
 *
 * The map allows `null` as a key.

  /**
   * Creates an insertion-ordered hash-table based [Map].
   *
   * If [equals] is provided, it is used to compare the keys in the table with
   * new keys. If [equals] is omitted, the key's own [Object.==] is used
   * instead.
   *
   * Similar, if [hashCode] is provided, it is used to produce a hash value
   * for keys in order to place them in the hash table. If it is omitted, the
   * key's own [Object.hashCode] is used.
   *
   * If using methods like [operator []], [remove] and [containsKey] together
   * with a custom equality and hashcode, an extra `isValidKey` function
   * can be supplied. This function is called before calling [equals] or
   * [hashCode] with an argument that may not be a [K] instance, and if the
   * call returns false, the key is assumed to not be in the set.
   * The [isValidKey] function defaults to just testing if the object is a
   * [K] instance.
   *
   * Example:
   *
   *     new LinkedHashMap<int,int>(equals: (int a, int b) => (b - a) % 5 == 0,
   *                                hashCode: (int e) => e % 5)
   *
   * This example map does not need an `isValidKey` function to be passed.
   * The default function accepts only `int` values, which can safely be
   * passed to both the `equals` and `hashCode` functions.
   *
   * If neither `equals`, `hashCode`, nor `isValidKey` is provided,
   * the default `isValidKey` instead accepts all keys.
   * The default equality and hashcode operations are assumed to work on all
   * objects.
   *
   * Likewise, if `equals` is [identical], `hashCode` is [identityHashCode]
   * and `isValidKey` is omitted, the resulting map is identity based,
   * and the `isValidKey` defaults to accepting all keys.
   * Such a map can be created directly using [LinkedHashMap.identity].
   *
   * The used `equals` and `hashCode` method should always be consistent,
   * so that if `equals(a, b)` then `hashCode(a) == hashCode(b)`. The hash
   * of an object, or what it compares equal to, should not change while the
   * object is in the table. If it does change, the result is unpredictable.
   *
   * If you supply one of [equals] and [hashCode],
   * you should generally also to supply the other.
