package freemarker.template;
/**
* An extended hash interface with a couple of extra hooks. If a class
* implements this interface, then the built-in operators ?size,
* ?keys, and ?values can be applied to its
* instances in the template.
*
* As of version 2.2.2, the engine will automatically wrap the
* collections returned by keys and values to
* present them as sequences to the template. For performance, you may
* wish to return objects that implement both TemplateCollectionModel
* and {@link TemplateSequenceModel}. Note that the wrapping to sequence happens
* on demand; if the template does not try to use the variable returned by
* ?keys or ?values as sequence (theKeys?size, or theKeys[x],
* or theKeys?sort, etc.), just iterates over the variable
* (<#list foo?keys as k>...), then no wrapping to
* sequence will happen, thus there will be no overhead.
