It's indeed a dangerous area. We intend to guarantee the following properties:
- if an element is in the table during the whole duration of maphash,
then maphash will see it.
- if an element is not in the table during any part of the duration of maphash,
then maphash will not see it.
So if an element is removed, maphash may still see it. And if it gets
added, maphash may miss it. And if it gets changed, maphash may see the
old value.
