| The <span class="bold"><strong>icl</strong></span> is about sets and maps and a useful |
| implementation of sets and maps using intervals. In the documentation of |
| the <span class="bold"><strong>icl</strong></span> the different set and map types |
| are grouped in various ways. In order to distinguish those groups we use |
| a naming convention. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Names of concepts start with a capital letter. So <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Set</span></code> |
| and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Map</span></code> stand for the <span class="emphasis"><em>concept</em></span> |
| of a set and a map as defined in the <span class="bold"><strong>icl</strong></span>. |
| When we talk about <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Sets</span></code> and |
| <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Maps</span></code> though, most of the |
| time we do not not talk about the concepts themselves but the set of types |
| that implement those concepts in the <span class="bold"><strong>icl</strong></span>. |
| The main groups, <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>icl containers</strong></span></em></span> |
| can be divided in, are summarized in the next table: |
