> Change Set: FasterIfAbsentPut-md
> Date: 21 December 2006
> Author: Marcus Denker
>
> Dictionary>>#at:ifAbsentPut: searches two times the dictionary when  
> the key is absent:
>
> self at: key ifAbsent: [self at: key put: aBlock value]
>
> This changeset provides a version that calls #findElementOrNil:  
> only once and
> a slightly faster implementation of Association>key:value. This  
> should make
> Dictionary>>at:put a little bit faster, too.
>
> The changeset provides a simple test for #at:ifAbsentPut.
