in current implementation Association is nothing more than Array with
two elements. And i see no sense in having such class, where
comparison operations having no difference with comparison of two
arrays. Association is the class designed to serve for support
dictionaries, where only keys are viable when performing
insertion/deletion operations. And i'm really disappointed about fact,
that this is not true.
