  # TODO: Should associations be singleton?

  # TODO: Is it really wise to keep a table of all associations?

  # Association is a general binary association that allows one
  # object to be associated with another. It has a variety of uses,
  # such as linked-lists, simple ordered maps and mixed collections,
  # among them.
  #
  # NOTE: This class is still fairly experimental. And it is not
  # loaded along with the other Hashery libraries when using
  # `require 'hashery'`. It must be required independently.
  #
  # Associations can be used to draw simple relationships.
  #
  #   :Apple >> :Fruit
  #   :Apple >> :Red
  #
  #   :Apple.associations #=> [ :Fruit, :Red ]
  #
  # It can also be used for simple lists of ordered pairs.
  #
  #   c = [ :a >> 1, :b >> 2 ]
  #   c.each { |k,v| puts "#{k} associated with #{v} }
  #
  # produces
  #
  #   a associated with 1
  #   b associated with 2
  #
  # The method :>> is used to construct the association.
  # It is a rarely used method so it is generally available.
  # But you can't use it for any of the following classes
  # becuase they use #>> for other things.
