Hi,

Interestingly in the old times, Prolog dicts that
are functional datastructures were called
multiple version hash tables (MVIIT):

Hash Tables in Logic Programming
The paper gives informal semantics for hash tables
as partial functions on logical terms for Prolog's
Horn clause language, and the implementation has been
used in Tricia, an implementation of Prolog
developed at Uppsala University.
