Complex traversable map class

ComplexMap

Description

Traversable class used to support situations where a standard PHP array needs to be able to map more than just scalar keys to array values and instead use more complex values as the array keys., _(*1)

For instance a use case for this would be where you need to map an instance of a class (let's say a UserModel) to another value like perhaps a collection of that users Posts. Normally you would be forced to use a unique value like an ID as the array key and as a result have to go and fetch the UserModel by id later on somewhere in your code., _(*2)

Using this map you would still have access to the User object reference as the Map key. Literally allows you to map anything to anything else for extra flexibility., _(*3)
