+    Persistent map/dict. Tries to follow the same naming conventions as the built in dict where feasible.
+
+    Do not instantiate directly, instead use the factory functions :py:func:`m` or :py:func:`pmap` to
+    create an instance.
+
+    Was originally written as a very close copy of the Clojure equivalent but was later rewritten to closer
+    re-assemble the python dict. This means that a sparse vector (a PVector) of buckets is used. The keys are
+    hashed and the elements inserted at position hash % len(bucket_vector). Whenever the map size exceeds 2/3 of
+    the containing vectors size the map is reallocated to a vector of double the size. This is done to avoid
+    excessive hash collisions.
+
+    This structure corresponds most closely to the built in dict type and is intended as a replacement. Where the
+    semantics are the same (more or less) the same function names have been used but for some cases it is not possible,
+    for example assignments and deletion of values.
+
+    PMap implements the Mapping protocol and is Hashable. It also supports dot-notation for
+    element access.
+
+    Random access and insert is log32(n) where n is the size of the map.
+
+    The following are examples of some common operations on persistent maps
+
+    >>> m1 = m(a=1, b=3)
+    >>> m2 = m1.set('c', 3)
+    >>> m3 = m2.remove('a')

+    Persistent vector implementation. Meant as a replacement for the cases where you would normally
+    use a Python list.
+
+    Do not instantiate directly, instead use the factory functions :py:func:`v` and :py:func:`pvector` to
+    create an instance.
+
+    Heavily influenced by the persistent vector available in Clojure. Initially this was more or
+    less just a port of the Java code for the Clojure vector. It has since been modified and to
+    some extent optimized for usage in Python.
+
+    The vector is organized as a trie, any mutating method will return a new vector that contains the changes. No
+    updates are done to the original vector. Structural sharing between vectors are applied where possible to save
+    space and to avoid making complete copies.
+
+    This structure corresponds most closely to the built in list type and is intended as a replacement. Where the
+    semantics are the same (more or less) the same function names have been used but for some cases it is not possible,
+    for example assignments.
+
+    The PVector implements the Sequence protocol and is Hashable.
+
+    Inserts are amortized O(1). Random access is log32(n) where n is the size of the vector.
+
+    The following are examples of some common operations on persistent vectors:
+
+    >>> p = v(1, 2, 3)
+    >>> p2 = p.append(4)
+    >>> p3 = p2.extend([5, 6, 7])
+    >>> p

+        Create a new evolver for this pvector. The evolver acts as a mutable view of the vector
+        with "transaction like" semantics. No part of the underlying vector i updated, it is still
+        fully immutable. Furthermore multiple evolvers created from the same pvector do not
+        interfere with each other.
+
+        You may want to use an evolver instead of working directly with the pvector in the
+        following cases:
+
+        * Multiple updates are done to the same vector and the intermediate results are of no
+          interest. In this case using an evolver may be a more efficient and easier to work with.
+        * You need to pass a vector into a legacy function or a function that you have no control
+          over which performs in place mutations of lists. In this case pass an evolver instance
+          instead and then create a new pvector from the evolver once the function returns.
+
+        The following example illustrates a typical workflow when working with evolvers. It also
+        displays most of the API (which i kept small by design, you should not be tempted to
+        use evolvers in excess ;-)).
