package scala.collection.mutable
/** A trait for mutable maps with multiple values assigned to a key.
*
* This class is typically used as a mixin. It turns maps which map `K`
* to `Set[V]` objects into multimaps that map `K` to `V` objects.
*
* @example {{{
* // first import all necessary types from package `collection.mutable`
* import collection.mutable.{ HashMap, MultiMap, Set }
*
* // to create a `MultiMap` the easiest way is to mixin it into a normal
* // `Map` instance
* val mm = new HashMap[Int, Set[String]] with MultiMap[Int, String]
*
* // to add key-value pairs to a multimap it is important to use
* // the method `addBinding` because standard methods like `+` will
* // overwrite the complete key-value pair instead of adding the
* // value to the existing key
* mm.addBinding(1, "a")
* mm.addBinding(2, "b")
* mm.addBinding(1, "c")
*
* // mm now contains `Map(2 -> Set(b), 1 -> Set(c, a))`
*
* // to check if the multimap contains a value there is method
* // `entryExists`, which allows to traverse the including set
* mm.entryExists(1, _ == "a") == true
* mm.entryExists(1, _ == "b") == false
* mm.entryExists(2, _ == "b") == true
*
* // to remove a previous added value there is the method `removeBinding`
* mm.removeBinding(1, "a")
* mm.entryExists(1, _ == "a") == false
* }}}
