/** **********************************************************************
** Module:  Dictionary \file dict.h
** Description: This module implements the dictionary abstraction.  A
**  dictionary is a repository for a number of objects, all of which
**  can be named using the same function.  A dictionary is limited to
**  storing items which can be cast to Generic (void*); in addition,
**  the constant NULL is used to report errors, so this is one value
**  which it is probably not a good idea to store in a dictionary.
** Constants:
**  DICTIONARY_NULL - the null dictionary
