+/// Last Write Win Map
+///
+/// This types defines a CRDT for a map from keys to values.
+/// The values have an associated timestamp, such that the last written value
+/// takes precedence over previous ones. As for the simpler `LWW` type, the value
+/// type `V` is also required to implement the CRDT trait.
+/// We do not encourage mutating the values associated with a given key
+/// without updating the timestamp, in fact at the moment we do not provide a `.get_mut()`
+/// method that would allow that.
+///
+/// Internally, the map is stored as a vector of keys and values, sorted by ascending key order.
+/// This is why the key type `K` must implement `Ord` (and also to ensure a unique serialization,
+/// such that two values can be compared for equality based on their hashes). As a consequence,
+/// insertions take `O(n)` time. This means that LWWMap should be used for reasonably small maps.
+/// However, note that even if we were using a more efficient data structure such as a `BTreeMap`,
+/// the serialization cost `O(n)` would still have to be paid at each modification, so we are
+/// actually not losing anything here.
