		Dictionary type.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Dictionary type. Associative container which contains values referenced by unique keys. Dictionaries are always passed by reference.
		Erasing elements while iterating over them [b]is not supported[/b].
		Creating a dictionary:
		[codeblock]
		var d = {4: 5, "A key": "A value", 28: [1, 2, 3]}
		[/codeblock]
		To add a key to an existing dictionary, access it like an existing key and assign to it:
		[codeblock]
		d[4] = "hello"  # Add integer 4 as a key and assign the String "hello" as its value.
		d["Godot"] = 3.01  # Add String "Godot" as a key and assign the value 3.01 to it.
		[/codeblock]
