19 /* This package implements basic hash table functionality. It is possible
20 to search for an entry, create an entry and destroy an entry.
22 Elements in the table are generic pointers.
24 The size of the table is not fixed; if the occupancy of the table
25 grows too high the hash table will be expanded.
27 The abstract data implementation is based on generalized Algorithm D
28 from Knuth's book "The art of computer programming". Hash table is
29 expanded by creation of new hash table and transferring elements from
30 the old table to the new table. */
