 I noticed that the unordered_map has no destructor as one would assume.
 There should be a destructor that calls clear() so that the content of the
 map is deleted. (cf. RAII -
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Acquisition_Is_Initialization)

 I ran into a serious memory leak because of that, when using an
 unordered_map locally and assuming that it clears its content when being
 destroyed.
