I have mixed feelings about this sort of change in general. I don't like making 
the code more complicated without some evidence that it will have a measurable 
impact, particularly with code that is already quite dense and subtle such as 
this. Do we have more than just conjecture in this case, e.g. is this a well 
known technique, or have we measured the effect?

It's plausible to suggest that the benefit of this change may be limited since 
the resizing heuristics that control the load factor of the map will be working 
against the likelyhood of it ever triggering. I also suspect that soft deletes 
along with amortized rehashing would yield a much better optimization and 
render this one all but inert.
