As a follow-up to the previous post, I also put together a function
library equivalent to the OO version. (I know this is reinventing
the wheel, but I wanted total equivalence for reasons that will be
made clear in the following post.)

Title: "Minimal Associative Data Store - Function Version"
File: %assocf.r
Date: 20-Sep-2000
Author: "Joel Neely"
Purpose: {
Function-based implementation of associative data store,
using object for data only, with arbitrary data types
for keys and values.
}

assoc.object: make object! [
_keys: copy []
_vals: copy []
]
