A typesafe store keyed by types and containing different types of values.
It provides functionality similar to AnyMap, but is more flexible because it allows for key-value pairs, rather than enforcing that keys and values are the same type.
Key-value associations are defined through the Key
trait, which uses an
associated type parameter and trait coherence rules to enforce the invariants
of TypeMap
.

map.insert::<KeyType>(Value(12));
