A concurrent insert only hash map.
This crate implements a “memo map” which is in many ways similar to a HashMap with some crucial differences:
* Unlike a regular hash map, a memo map is thread safe and synchronized.
* Adding or retrieving keys works through a shared reference, removing only
through a mutable reference.
* Retrieving a value from a memo map returns a plain old reference.
```rust
use memo_map::MemoMap;
let memo = MemoMap::new();
assert_eq!(one, "one");
assert_eq!(one2, "one");
```
