 The `hashmap_type` abstract type serves as the parent type for the two
 types `chaining_hashmap_type` and `open_hashmap_type`. It defines
 seven private components:
+
 * `call_count` - the number of procedure calls on the map;
+
 * `nbits` - the number of bits used to address the slots; 
+
 * `num_entries` - the humber of entries in the map;
+
 * `num_free` - the number of entries in the free list of removed 
   entries;
+
 * `probe_count` - the number of map probes since the last resizing or
   initialization;
+
 * `total_probes` - the number of probes of the map up to the last
   resizing or initialization; and
+
 * `hasher` - a pointer to the hash function used by the map.
+
 It also defines five non-overridable procedures:
+
 * `calls` - returns the number of procedure calls on the map;
+
 * `entries` - returns the number of entries in the map;
+
 * `map_probes` - returns the number of map probes since
   initialization;
+
 * `num_slots` - returns the number of slots in the map; and
+
 * `slots_bits` - returns the number of bits used to address the slots;
 and eleven deferred procedures:
+
 * `get_other_data` - gets the other map data associated with the key;
+
 * `init` - initializes the hash map;
+
 * `key_test` - returns a logical flag indicating whether the key is 
   defined in the map. 
+
 * `loading` - returns the ratio of the number of entries to the number
   of slots;
+
 * `map_entry` - inserts a key and its other associated data into the
   map;
+
 * `rehash` - rehashes the map with the provided hash function;
+
 * `remove` - removes the entry associated wit the key;
+
 * `set_other_data` - replaces the other data associated with the key;
+
 * `total_depth` - returns the number of probes needed to address all
   the entries in the map;
