+    \class Q3Dict
+    \brief The Q3Dict class is a template class that provides a
+    dictionary based on QString keys.
+    \compat
+
+    Q3Dict is implemented as a template class. Define a template
+    instance Q3Dict\<X\> to create a dictionary that operates on
+    pointers to X (X *).
+
+    A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a
+    QString used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a
+    pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.
+
+    If you want to use non-Unicode, plain 8-bit \c char* keys, use the
+    Q3AsciiDict template. A Q3Dict has the same performance as a
+    Q3AsciiDict. If you want to have a dictionary that maps QStrings to
+    QStrings use QMap.
+
+    The size() of the dictionary is very important. In order to get
+    good performance, you should use a suitably large prime number.
+    Suitable means equal to or larger than the maximum expected number
+    of dictionary items. Size is set in the constructor but may be
+    changed with resize().
+
+    Items are inserted with insert(); 0 pointers cannot be inserted.
+    Items are removed with remove(). All the items in a dictionary can
+    be removed with clear(). The number of items in the dictionary is
+    returned by count(). If the dictionary contains no items isEmpty()
+    returns TRUE. You can change an item's value with replace(). Items
+    are looked up with operator[](), or with find() which return a
+    pointer to the value or 0 if the given key does not exist. You can
+    take an item out of the dictionary with take().
+
+    Calling setAutoDelete(TRUE) for a dictionary tells it to delete
+    items that are removed. The default behavior is not to delete
+    items when they are removed.
+   
+    When an item is inserted, the key is converted (hashed) to an
+    integer index into an internal hash array. This makes lookup very
+    fast.
+
+    Items with equal keys are allowed. When inserting two items with
+    the same key, only the last inserted item will be accessible (last
+    in, first out) until it is removed.
+
+    The Q3DictIterator class can traverse the dictionary, but only in
+    an arbitrary order. Multiple iterators may independently traverse
+    the same dictionary.
+
+    When inserting an item into a dictionary, only the pointer is
+    copied, not the item itself, i.e. a shallow copy is made. It is
+    possible to make the dictionary copy all of the item's data (a
+    deep copy) when an item is inserted. insert() calls the virtual
+    function Q3PtrCollection::newItem() for the item to be inserted.
+    Inherit a dictionary and reimplement newItem() if you want deep
+    copies.
+
+    When removing a dictionary item, the virtual function
+    Q3PtrCollection::deleteItem() is called. Q3Dict's default
+    implementation is to delete the item if auto-deletion is enabled.

+    (e.g. a prime that's slightly larger than the expected number of
+    entries). This makes the hash distribution better which will lead
+    to faster lookup.
