+ * in terms of the wrapped type T.
+ *
+ * For example, to store a hashtable mapping strings to JSObject pointers, you
+ * can declare a data member like this:
+ *
+ * nsJSThingHashtable<nsStringHashKey, JSObject*> mStringToObjectMap;
+ *
+ * See nsBaseHashtable for complete declaration
+ * @param KeyClass a wrapper-class for the hashtable key, see nsHashKeys.h
+ * for a complete specification.
+ * @param DataType the datatype being wrapped, must be a JS GC thing.
+ * @see nsInterfaceHashtable, nsClassHashtable
