 * Creates a hash map. A hash map is a container that can map strings (called
 * "keys") to arbitrary values (cells, arrays, or strings). Keys in a hash map
 * are unique. That is, there is at most one entry in the map for a given key.
 *
 * Insertion, deletion, and lookup in a hash map are all considered to be fast
 * operations, amortized to O(1), or constant time.
 *
 * The word "Trie" in this API is historical. As of AMX Mod X 1.8.3, tries have
 * been internally replaced with hash tables, which have O(1) insertion time
 * instead of O(n).
