+ *
+ * This section describes the API to a dictionary structure that
+ * associates as string to a void* key. It provides the same
+ * functionality than an hash table.
+ *
+ * Here is a little example of use:
+ * \verbatim xbt_dict_t mydict = xbt_dict_new();
+ char buff[512];
+
+ sprintf(buff,"some very precious data");
+ xbt_dict_set(mydict,"my data", strdup(buff), free);
+
+ sprintf(buff,"another good stuff");
+ xbt_dict_set(mydict,"my data", strdup(buff), free); // previous data gets erased (and freed) by second add
+\endverbatim
