 *************************************************************************/

/* This module allows hashing of arbitrary data.  Such data must be pointers or integers, and client is responsible for allocating/deallocating this data.  A deallocation call-back is provided.
The objective C class HashTable is preferred when dealing with (key, values) associations because it is easier to use in that situation.
As well-behaved scalable data structures, hash tables double in size when they start becoming full, thus guaranteeing both average constant time access and linear size. */
