put (v: V_, k: K_)
effective procedure
{ANY}
Change some existing entry or add the new one.
If there is as yet no key k in the dictionary, enter it with item v. Otherwise overwrite the item associated with key k. As the put procedure actually uses is_equal, you may consider to use fast_put for expanded objects as well while trying to get the very best performances.
See also fast_put, add.
