+@code{LRUHash}, the flexible @code{OpenHash} and the convenient
+@code{KeyHash}.  Nearly every class is a subclass of the @code{CRUDHash} which
+defines a CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) model on top of Ruby's
+standard @code{Hash} making it possible to subclass and augment to fit any
+specific use case.")
