+/**
+ * Map implementation that supports objects as keys.
+ *
+ * PHP's \WeakMap is not an option in case object keys are created and assigned
+ * in an encapsulated scope (like passing a map to a function to enrich it). In
+ * case the original object is not referenced anymore, it also will vanish from
+ * a \WeakMap, when used as key (see https://www.php.net/manual/class.weakmap.php).
+ *
+ * PHP's \SplObjectStorage has a strange behavior when using an iteration like
+ * `foreach ($map as $key => $value)` - the `$value` is actually the `$key` for
+ * BC reasons (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49967).
+ *
+ * This individual implementation works around the "weak" behavior of \WeakMap
+ * and the iteration issue with `foreach` of `\SplObjectStorage` by acting as
+ * a wrapper for `\SplObjectStorage` with reduced features.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * ```
+ * $map = new \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Type\Map();
+ * $key = new \stdClass();
+ * $value = new \stdClass();
+ * $map[$key] = $value;
+ *
+ * foreach ($map as $key => $value) { ... }
+ * ```
