Bug description

If you need stronger guarantees (e.g. the iteration must
operate on the initial state of the table), consider
replacing the hash table by a reference to a binary tree (module Map).

  • Xavier Leroy

Plz add this to the manual. It is only obvious when you know that Map is
pure and have no side-effects.

In the MLI-file there is a strange comment for iter:

Only current bindings are presented to [f]:
bindings hidden by more recent bindings are not passed to [f].

This sentence should probably be included in map, mapi and fold too.

That Map is pure is well-documented already.
