Hello Alexander
May be MultiValuesDictionary would be a better name.
"As You can understand from name of this collection, the
multi-dictionary is dictionary which stores a pairs which looks like
"key - array of values"."
Don't expect that people can understand...
Did you define some tests?
I suggest that you check all the dictionary API and tests.
Do you store an array or an ordered collection?

*Subject: **New Pharo Collections: Question about MultiDictionary*
Greetings to everyone. Recently i started my pre-bachelor's work
called "New
Collections for Pharo". ( introduction to my project
<http://forum.world.st/New-Pharo-Collections-td4794762.html> )
I decided to start with the MultiDictionary. There is a very basic
prototype
available on my project page on smalltalkhub
<http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OBrenchev/NewPharoCollections
<http://smalltalkhub.com/#%21/%7EOBrenchev/NewPharoCollections>>
You can also read my post
<http://pillarhub.pharocloud.com/hub/brenchev/duntw01nrp9hkz6a00qmi16c5>
about this implementation on PillarHub.
I took a quick look at the current API and I have one small
suggestion: I think it would make sense to add a message #at:add: (the
selector is just an example) and then use that to implement #add: like
so (again, just an example):
add: anAssociation
self
at: anAssociation key
add: anAssociation value
This why users are not required to use associations, which are simply
intermediate objects in many cases. If you have large collections you
don’t want to create those intermediate objects.
Cheers,
Max
At this point, i need your help, users and developers of Pharo! Feel
free to
make your suggestions about functionality of MultiDictionary that you
need.
Also, I'll really appreciate your suggestions about code style and in
programming with Pharo in general. Thank you and best wishes.
