Typerep map
⚡️Efficient implementation of Map with types as keys
`typerep-map` introduces `TMap` and `TypeRepMap` — data structures like [`Map`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.6.0.1/docs/Data-Map-Lazy.html#t:Map), but where types serve as keys, and values have the types specified in the corresponding key spots. The project is written primarily in Haskell, distributed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 license, first published in 2017. Key topics include: arrays, binary-search, cache, dependent-map, dmap.

typerep-map introduces TMap and TypeRepMap — data structures like Map, but where types serve as keys, and values have the types specified in the corresponding key spots.
For the more details on the implementation see the following blog post:
Usage example
haskellghci> import Data.TMap ghci> tm = insert True $ one (42 :: Int) ghci> size tm 2 ghci> res = lookup tm ghci> res :: Maybe Int Just 42 ghci> res :: Maybe Bool Just True ghci> res :: Maybe String Nothing ghci> lookup (insert "hello" tm) :: Maybe String Just "hello" ghci> member @Int tm True ghci> tm' = delete @Int tm ghci> member @Int tm' False
