/// This detail function returns \e the central hash table that stores enum records of all types.
/// A constant reference is returned, which is in alignment with the general contract of this
/// concept that considers enum records as static data which must not be modified after
/// bootstrapping a process.
///
/// Consequently, there are no mechanisms to protect parallel access, because after bootstrap
/// only read operations are allowed.
///
/// Before bootstrapping, the returned map may be <c>const_cast</c>'ed to a mutable reference
/// for the sake of modifying the base- and maximum load factors as well as for reserving
/// a certain element capacity. The default values are already raised to \c 3.0 and \c 6.0,
/// as the retrieval of enumeration records is not considered to be done in time-critical
/// code units.
///
/// Direct access to this map is not recommended, and useful only in seldom cases.
///
/// A good sample for its use, is to provide debug-output of all defined records for a type in the
/// case that a record for a certain enumeration element of that type was not found, and such
/// output is required to be performed in a code unit that has lost (templated) compile-time type
/// information.
///
/// \note
///   Runtime access to single records is provided with function
///   #"detail::getEnumRecord(const std::type_info& rtti; integer)" and encapsulated
///   in type #"boxing::Enum" of the module \alib_boxing.
///
/// \attention
///   In the absence of the module \alib_monomem in an \alibbuild, the returned type changes to
///   <c>std::unordered_map</c>.
///
/// @return A constant reference to the internal hash map storing all enum records.
