%% We use the dynamic hashing techniques by Per-�ke Larsson as
%% described in "The Design and Implementation of Dynamic Hashing for
%% Sets and Tables in Icon" by Griswold and Townsend. Much of the
%% terminology comes from that paper as well.
%%
%% The segments are all of the same fixed size and we just keep
%% increasing the size of the top tuple as the table grows. At the
%% end of the segments tuple we keep an empty segment which we use
%% when we expand the segments. The segments are expanded by doubling
%% every time n reaches maxn instead of increasing the tuple one
%% element at a time. It is easier and does not seem detrimental to
%% speed. The same applies when contracting the segments.
%%
%% Note that as the order of the keys is undefined we may freely
%% reorder keys within a bucket.
