Arrays would need to move data. Current hashtables rely on values

If the array of buckets were enhanced to include the hashes, the
key/value objects could stay untouched when the AA is grown. The
key/value objects would only be dereferenced if the hashes matched.
Not sure I understand. What if the collision array needs to grow? That might
move it. -- Andrei
The collision array is an array of pairs:
KeyValue *kv;
Hash_t hash;
growing the array moves those around, but the locations of the array elements
are never exposed to the users. The addresses of kv are exposed, but those don't
move.
