The intention was that the token-type, being limited to an integral 
type, would default to an int which would work for vast majority of 
cases. So the user could simply write:

        tokenmap<my_class> fast_map;

instead of:

        tokenmap<int, my_class> fast_map;

The second may give an impression that the key can be anything other, 
whereas in reality it's quite limiting.

I don't feel strong about either method though.
