<p class="para">
The <strong class="classname">pht\HashTable</strong> class is one of the Inter-Thread
Communication (ITC) data structures exposed by pht. It can be safely passed
around between threads, and manipulated by multiple threads using the mutex
locks that have been packed in with the data structure. It is
reference-counted across threads, and so it does not need to be explicitly
destroyed.
</p>
<p class="para">
The <strong class="classname">pht\HashTable</strong> class enables for array access upon
its objects (along with the <span class="function"><a href="function.isset.html" class="function">isset()</a></span> and
<span class="function"><a href="function.unset.html" class="function">unset()</a></span> functions). The
<a href="class.arrayaccess.html" class="classname">ArrayAccess</a> interface is not explicitly implemented,
however, because it is only needed for such abilities by userland classes.
