Does glint support (key, value) store ? #65

I want a global word dict, but I found glint has no api for (key, value) store.

Glint has no immediate plans to support non-integer key types, so this means no words, no strings, etc. The parameter servers only operate on very basic matrices and vectors.

The usual solution when dealing with words is to convert them to integers via hashing or a dictionary map and use the resulting integers as keys.
