Implement a Map based on ArrayOfBufferBackedObjects?

[webhype]

Hi, love the BBO library but ArrayOfBufferBackedObjects (ABBOs) are of limited use out-of-the-box because there's no mapping of string -> BBO, i.e. there's no Map object yet. I'm struggling to find a way to get the non-linear access speed of the JavaScript native Map class, but with ABBOs.

I keep coming back to linear search speed, i.e. traversing the BBO array until I found the matching object. Sure I could program my own Hashmap from scratch, calculating an index based on the string, and hope we can avoid collisions, and all that. Tedious.

Anyone know of a project that implements something like BBO.Map? Thanks!
