 * An SMap is a data structure that holds many mappings of objects to objects:

 * say, a string to an other string. This can be likened to the Dict structure

 * in python, but not fully.

 * 

 * An SMap is made up of SMapItems, each MapItem holds two pointers to data.

 * The first pointer is the key, the secold is the value.

 *

 * please note that SMaps can be slow and are unordered.
