.SH NAME
Table.entries \- iterate over key/value pairs
.SH LIBRARY
Tomo Standard Library
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.BI Table.entries\ :\ func(t:\ {K:V}\ ->\ func(key:&K,\ value:&V\ ->\ Bool))
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Returns an iterator that yields each key/value pair in the table, in insertion order. The iterator yields two values per iteration, so a loop over it binds two variables: `for k, v in table.entries()`. This is the only way to iterate a table's pairs (`for k, v in table` is a compile error); use the `.keys` or `.values` fields to iterate just one side. Mutating the table after making the iterator does not affect what it yields.
