* Always import packages using absolute paths (e.g. `scala.collection.Map` instead of `collection.Map`).
* No "infix" syntax for methods other than operators. For example, don't write `table containsKey myKey`; replace it with `table.containsKey(myKey)`.
- Add unit tests to your new code. We use [ScalaTest](http://www.scalatest.org/) for testing. Just add a new Suite in `core/src/test`, or methods to an existing Suite.
