No, it's not safe to do that. If you insert or remove any elements from an
AA while looping over it, you're going to have weird behavior. If you want
to remove elements in a loop, then you'll need to do something like put each
key that you want to remove in a dynamic array while looping over the AA and
then loop over the dynamic array to remove the elements from the AA.
