The CTM book says, "A dictionary is a mapping from simple constants (atoms, names, or integers) to partial values."
As expected, when we execute this code:
declare
Memo = {NewDictionary}
try {Dictionary.put Memo 3 1} catch E then skip end
try {Dictionary.put Memo 5.5 2} catch E then skip end
try {Dictionary.put Memo foo 3} catch E then skip end
try {Dictionary.put Memo foo(bar) 4} catch E then skip end
try {Dictionary.put Memo baz#qux 5} catch E then skip end
{Browse {Dictionary.entries Memo}}
we get [3#1 foo#3].
Are there any common workarounds for using the other types as keys? At the moment, I need to store some data in a sparse matrix, for which, a dictionary ought to have been good enough. But it would be nice to have a general-purpose workaround.
