/*
 * hashtab.c: Handling of a hashtable with Vim-specific properties.
 *
 * Each item in a hashtable has a NUL terminated string key.  A key can appear
 * only once in the table.
 *
 * A hash number is computed from the key for quick lookup.  When the hashes
 * of two different keys point to the same entry an algorithm is used to
 * iterate over other entries in the table until the right one is found.
 * To make the iteration work removed keys are different from entries where a
 * key was never present.
 *
 * The mechanism has been partly based on how Python Dictionaries are
 * implemented.  The algorithm is from Knuth Vol. 3, Sec. 6.4.
 *
 * The hashtable grows to accommodate more entries when needed.  At least 1/3
 * of the entries is empty to keep the lookup efficient (at the cost of extra
 * memory).
