`typerep-map` introduces `TMap` and `TypeRepMap` — data structures like [`Map`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.6.0.1/docs/Data-Map-Lazy.html#t:Map), but where types serve as keys, and values have the types specified in the corresponding key spots.

For the more details on the implementation see [this blog post](https://kowainik.github.io/posts/2018-07-11-typerep-map-step-by-step).

## Usage example

```haskell
ghci> import Data.TMap

ghci> tm = insert True $ one (42 :: Int)

ghci> size tm
2

ghci> res = lookup tm

ghci> res :: Maybe Int
Just 42

ghci> res :: Maybe Bool
Just True

ghci> res :: Maybe String
Nothing

ghci> lookup (insert "hello" tm) :: Maybe String
Just "hello"

ghci> member @Int tm
True

ghci> tm' = delete @Int tm

ghci> member @Int tm'
False
```
