in D, but obviously with an associative array. It seems that
it's quite
easy to iterate through the whole "map", but not start from the
middle.
Am I missing something obvious (or not so obvious) ?
How should that work, if map is unordered?
In D:
Implementation Defined: The built-in associative arrays do not
preserve the order of the keys inserted into the array. In
particular, in a foreach loop the order in which the elements are
iterated is typically unspecified.
