use of css.container.EnumerableMap

Hi,

after many years, ooo api users have finally got a concrete generic 
implementation of an "associative array" or "Lookup table" or 
"dictionary list"

That's great! this powerful service could greatly simplify the 
development of macros / extension
but......

unfortunately the implementation is so  complicated and counterintuitive 
that nobody will use it.

Of course I'm able to use it even in basic, but how can I explain it to 
a novice that needs to translate from VBA a macro that uses VBA collections?
(however a starbasic example would be grateful)


The new uno service needs initialization, not fully supported in starbasic
The new uno service needs two parameters "UNO Type" a sort of object 
very complex and abstract for a novice not expert in OOP (for example 
99% of macro writers)

This kind of situations tends to discourage anybody that would like to 
migrate but is afraid of loosing his/her skills

regards
Paolo Mantovani
