/**
* @file Public dictionary API.
+ * @deprecated
+ * AVDictionary is provided for compatibility with libav. It is both in
+ * implementation as well as API inefficient. It doesnt scale and is
+ * be extreemly slow with large dictionaries.
+ * It is recommanded that new code uses our tree container from tree.c/h
+ * where applicable.
+ * Which uses AVL trees to achive O(log n) performance
