Hash.js

This is a simple implementation of a hashtable in JavaScript. I must've found a half dozen JavaScript hashtables on the net, but none of them met my requirements:

• Must have a length field and iterators over keys, values, and items. Really, without these, you might as well use a JS object.
• Must gracefully accept keys that conflict with the names of built-in methods, eg. "keys", "values", "toString".
• Must not mess with the prototypes of built-in objects, and preferably has a small namespace footprint.
• Must be standalone, without dependencies on a large JS library.

So I wrote one, and added some utility methods that were handy for the project I was working on. Doc comments inline.
