`` `trait` HashTable[A]
  `extends` AnyRef

  This class can be used to construct data structures that are based on hashtables. Class `HashTable[A]` implements a hashtable that maps keys of type `A` to values of the fully abstract member type `Entry`. Classes that make use of `HashTable` have to provide an implementation for `Entry` There are mainly two parameters that affect the performance of a hashtable: the initial size and the load factor. The size refers to the number of buckets in the hashtable, and the load factor is a measure of how full the hashtable is allowed to get before its size is automatically doubled. Both parameters may be changed by overriding the corresponding values in class `HashTable`.
