Yes. My point is was that "space" is a loaded term, esp. w/re hashes.
Also, I noticed this:
,----
|
| {...}
|
| :rehash-threshold THRESHOLD -- THRESHOLD must a float > 0, and <= 1.0.
| Resize the hash table when the ratio (number of entries / table size)
| is greater or equal than THRESHOLD. Default is 0.8.
|
| {...}
|
`----
"is greater or equal than THRESHOLD. Default is 0.8."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maybe better as:
"is greater than or equal to THRESHOLD. Default is 0.8."
