`` `trait` Map[A, B]
  `extends` Map[A, B]`with` Scriptable[Message[(A, B)]]

  This trait represents mutable maps. Concrete map implementations just have to provide functionality for the abstract methods in `scala.collection.Map` as well as for `update`, and `-=`.

`def` | ++= (kvs : Iterator[(A, B)]) : Unit Add a sequence of key/value pairs to this map.
`def` | += (key : A) : MapTo This method defines syntactic sugar for adding or modifying mappings. It is typically used in the following way:
        map += key -> value;
`def` | += (kv : (A, B)) : Unit Add a key/value pair to this map.
`def` | += (kv1 : (A, B), kv2 : (A, B), kvs : (A, B)*) : Unit Add two or more key/value pairs to this map.
`def` | - (key : A) : Map[A, B] Remove a key from this map

`override def` | clone : Map[A, B] Return a clone of this map.
`def` | excl (keys : A*) : Unit This method will remove all the mappings for the given sequence of keys from the map.
`def` | getOrElseUpdate (key : A, default : => B) : B Check if this map maps `key` to a value. Return that value if it exists, otherwise put `default` as that key's value and return it.
`def` | incl (mappings : (A, B)*) : Unit `incl` can be used to add many mappings at the same time to the map. The method assumes that a mapping is represented by a `Pair` object who's first component denotes the key, and who's second component refers to the value.
`def` | retain (p : (A, B) => Boolean) : Unit This method retains only those mappings for which the predicate `p` returns `true`.
`def` | transform (f : (A, B) => B) : Unit This function transforms all the values of mappings contained in this map with function `f`.
`abstract def` | update (key : A, value : B) : Unit This method allows one to add a new mapping from `key` to `value` to the map. If the map already contains a mapping for `key`, it will be overridden by this function.

Method Details

`abstract` `def` update(key : A, value : B) : Unit

  This method allows one to add a new mapping from `key` to `value` to the map. If the map already contains a mapping for `key`, it will be overridden by this function.

Parameters
  `key -` The key to update
  `value -` The new value

`` `def` +=(kv : (A, B)) : Unit

  Add a key/value pair to this map.

Parameters
  `kv -` the key/value pair.

`` `def` +=(kv1 : (A, B), kv2 : (A, B), kvs : (A, B)*) : Unit

  Add two or more key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kv1 -` the first key/value pair.
  `kv2 -` the second key/value pair.
  `kvs -` the remaining key/value pairs.

`` `def` ++=(kvs : Iterable[(A, B)]) : Unit

  Add a sequence of key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kvs -` the iterable object containing all key/value pairs.

`` `def` ++=(kvs : Iterator[(A, B)]) : Unit

  Add a sequence of key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kvs -` the iterator containing all key/value pairs.

`` `def` +(kv : (A, B)) : Map[A, B]

  Add a key/value pair to this map.

Parameters
  `kv -` the key/value pair.
Returns
  The map itself with the new binding added in place.

`` `def` +(kv1 : (A, B), kv2 : (A, B), kvs : (A, B)*) : Map[A, B]

  Add two or more key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kv1 -` the first key/value pair.
  `kv2 -` the second key/value pair.
  `kvs -` the remaining key/value pairs.
Returns
  The map itself with the new bindings added in place.

`` `def` ++(kvs : Iterable[(A, B)]) : Map[A, B]

  Add a sequence of key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kvs -` the iterable object containing all key/value pairs.
Returns
  The itself map with the new bindings added in place.

`` `def` ++(kvs : Iterator[(A, B)]) : Map[A, B]

  Add a sequence of key/value pairs to this map.

Parameters
  `kvs -` the iterator containing all key/value pairs.
Returns
  The itself map with the new bindings added in place.

`abstract` `def` -=(key : A) : Unit

  Remove a key from this map, noop if key is not present.

Parameters
  `key -` the key to be removed

`` `def` -=(key1 : A, key2 : A, keys : A*) : Unit

  Scriptable.<<

`override` `def` clone : Map[A, B]

  Return a clone of this map.

Returns
  a map with the same elements.

@deprecated
`` `def` +=(key : A) : MapTo

  This method defines syntactic sugar for adding or modifying mappings. It is typically used in the following way:

          map += key -> value;

Deprecated
  use `+={key, value}`
