/**
 * <p>
 * This class is a data structure for holding task instances in form of a symbol map. It is more
 * efficient than a simple list. This data structure can be used with a comparator to adapt the
 * effective list behavior and to define the equals strategy for comparing task instances. After a
 * certain size ({@link #MAX_LIST_SIZE}), the map creates an index consisting of buckets of similar
 * task instances. This allows searching for task instances in a more efficient order as the search
 * can start in the most appropriate of the internal buckets.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The class is called a map, although it is not. It may contain the same task instances as
 * separate keys. This implementation is done for performance improvements. If it is required to
 * really assure, that a key exists only once, then each call to the
 * {@link #addSymbol(Object, Object)} method should be done only, if the
 * {@link #containsSymbol(Object)} method for the same symbol returns false.
 * </p>
