class PDF::Reader
  # Provides low level access to the objects in a PDF file via a hash-like
  # object.
  #
  # A PDF file can be viewed as a large hash map. It is a series of objects
  # stored at precise byte offsets, and a table that maps object IDs to byte
  # offsets. Given an object ID, looking up an object is an O(1) operation.
  #
  # Each PDF object can be mapped to a ruby object, so by passing an object
  # ID to the [] method, a ruby representation of that object will be
  # retrieved.
  #
  # The class behaves much like a standard Ruby hash, including the use of
  # the Enumerable mixin. The key difference is no []= method - the hash
  # is read only.
  #
  # == Basic Usage
  #
  #     h = PDF::Reader::ObjectHash.new("somefile.pdf")
  #     h[1]
  #     => 3469
  #
  #     h[PDF::Reader::Reference.new(1,0)]
  #     => 3469
